Patent ·
OSTI ID:4068837

A fuel element for gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors is designed with improved supporting means for withdrawal from the core. The element has an elongated can provided with circumferentially spaced and longitudinally extending external fins which serve as can-supporting means. At one end of the can, coupling means are provided to engage with the grab of a fueling machine, while at the other end, support means are provided to engage the adjacent end of the can. (D.L.C.)
