Abstract
The Medical University of Hanover (MHH) returned its TRIGA
fuel to the United States in the summer of 1999. This paper deals with the
procedure for handling the fuel elements within and outside the reactor
facility. It describes the dry loading technology, taking into account the
special conditions relevant to the MHH. It also includes the time scale for
both the various steps of the procedure and the entire process, as well as the
main results of the radiological surveys.
