ASSEMBLING OF FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS IN CLUSTERS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4049137
A method is described for assemblage in clusters of cylindrical nuclear fuel elements which have a number of regularly situated narrowings on their outer surfaces. The elements are assembled with their axes parallel and their narrowings at the same level; they are held together by a number of metal frames sufficient to afford adequate firmness. Each frame consists of a cylindrical belt fitting in the narrowings of the elements that are situated on the outside, while the inner elements ans kept apart by short metal tubes adjusted between the narrowings. The axes of these tubes are of the same length and lie parallel to the narrowings. (NPO)
