Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly for passage through a containment slab for transferring irradiated nuclear fuel, comprising a sleeve passing through the slab and fast therewith and a guide ramp passing through the sleeve and in which moves a handling pot carrying the fuel, wherein said assembly further comprises a device for evacuating the residual heat dissipated by the fuel, this device comprising a bundle of caloducts disposed parallel to the ramp over a length at least equal to that of the sleeve, and means for evacuating the flow of heat directed above the slab by the caloducts.
