NEW METHOD AND DEVICES FOR EXTRACTING HEAT FROM NUCLEAR FUEL ELEMENTS BY MEANS OF TRANSVERSAL FINS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4007952
The device for creating transversal fluid flow between transversal fins on fuel elements was further improved by providing the fins with radial slits, either situated in the inlet regions, i.e. near the guide blades, or in the outlet regions, i.e. between the guide blades. These slits gave a substantial decrease in pressure losses. (NPO)
