FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4025412
The design of a nuclear fuel element which comprises a series of closed tabular containers housing nuclear fuel and which may be housed in a graphite moderated reactor is described. The tubular fuel elements are arranged within an enclosing tube through which a cooling fluid flows in the general direction of the axis of the tube. The tubular containers are disposed in rows. Each row is disposed at an oblique angle to those in adjacent rows, and all rows are at an oblique angle to the axis of the enclosing tube and aligned with each other in the direction of the axis. The enclosing tube is coaxially located in a further tube but spaced to permit the passage of cooling fluid between the two tubes. For a graphite moderated reactor the enclosing tube is also graphite. (N.W.R.)
