DEFINITION

Classification: 376/260

HANDLING OF FISSION REACTOR COMPONENT STRUCTURE WITHIN REACTOR SYSTEM:

(under the class definition) Subject matter for physically moving structure within the nuclear fission reactor system.

(1) Note. "Handling" as used in this and indented subclasses includes moving, or any motion, of a component or segment thereof from one position or location to another within or to the outside of; or altogether externally of the reactor; and is inclusive also of a rotating or a reciprocating motion, but not of a stationary vibrating motion.

(2) Note. The mere circulation of a fluid component is not considered as "handling" for this and indented subclasses; however, a peculiar or particular nature of circulation may be so considered.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

156, for particular "handling" of materials or components wherein nuclear conversion is also involved.

308, for "handling" of reactor materials not provided for elsewhere in this class. For example, the handling of fluid-type reaction products.
