Zusammenfassung:In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method of rectifying (i.e. adjusting the size of) cylindrical articles, in particular nuclear fuel pellets. The invention also provides apparatus for rectifying such articles, by implementing said method. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for rectifying cylindrical articles, in particular nuclear fuel pellets. In said method, in characteristic manner, the dust generated by the rectification by a working grind wheel acting on said pellets remains confined and practically all of it is entrained beside said working grind wheel so as to be taken away by forced suction.
