IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4055557

A fuel element is designed for use with gas-cooled graphite-moderated reactors. It is comprised of a hollow cylindrical sleeve (which may be graphite) having at its upper end means for supporting an array of fuel rods and at its lower end means for locating the rods horizontally while permitting downward expansion of the rods. The fuel rods are preferably of uraium dioxie, as described Patent No. 861,222. (D.L.C.)
