FUEL ASSEMBLY FOR VERTICAL-CHANNEL NUCLEAR REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4080088
A fuel assembly comprising a tubular casing is designed for use in reactors that are moderated and cooled by a liquid, particularly heavy water. The sheathed fuel cantridges are supported inside the casing by internally projecting lugs and teat-recess coupling of adjacent cartridges. The liquid is drawn into the assembly and out, approximately 10% being drawn off for detection of sheathing ruptures. The assembly is supported in the reactor at both the top and bottom, and a cased spring is provided to hold the casing against the tank base plate and to absorb any casing expansion. A degassing device is also provided. (D.L.C.)
