OSTI ID:4080877
A reactor fuel element assembly is designed which has the advantage of an increased external surfacs area per volume of fissile material together with structure strength. The assembly comprises a central vertical pillar with a spider support assembly at the top which supports a fuel rod array ard with a perforated bottom plate that locates the fuel rods with mating surfaces while allowing them to expand downwards. This assembly design is applicable to gas- cooled graphite-moderated reactors and possibly to liquid-cooled reactors. The fuel rods which are to be ussd with the assembly are described in Patent No. 861,222. (D.L.C.)
