IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4073145
A support for a fast reactor core of fuel elements with means allowing the insertion and withdrawal of neutron generating material for control purposes is described. It is comprised of a core of vertically oriented fuel elements having groups of fuel elements supported in carriers which are retained sgainst gravity by association at their lower ends with operating mechanisms for controlled movement of carriers together with their groups of fuel elements into and out from the core and the carriers together with their groups of fuel elements being free to fall from the core under gravity by a coupling releasable in the mechanisms.
