SummaryPressurized-water reactors, operating at a Swiss nuclear power-plant, utilize fuel rods containing radioactive material to produce energy. During operation, bundles of rods are immersed in water; a purpose-built grab removes them when the fuel is spent. Contrinex all-metal inductive sensors detect the presence of a bundle in the grab and confirm that the grab is closed before lifting commences.ApplicationIn a nuclear power-plant, the reactor core is built from fuel bundles, each containin …
