REACTOR FUEL ASSEMBLY
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4068835
A vertical nuclear fuel assembly is described which is comprised of a central fuel rod and two inner and outer fuel tubes surrounding the fuel rod and concentric, radially spaced relationship to ths fuel rod, the outer fuel tube being radially spaced from the inner fuel tube. The inner fuel tube is supported at its upper end through a connection with a perforated tube. Ths fuel rod and outer fuel tube are supported though connections between their lower ends and the lower end of the inner fuel tube. These connections permit the fuel rod and tubes to expand axially at different rates without undue mechanical stresses.
