The Bullet Nose Grapple Funnel is a critical component of the HTS Flux Thimble Cut-Up Tooling Package. Designed for maximum safety and underwater control, the funnel ensures that the irradiated "hot end" of the Flux Thimble remains securely managed throughout the cutting campaign. Its robust, self-weighted design and pneumatic operation provide reliable engagement and consistent control in submerged conditions — all while supporting strict FME protocols.
