NUCLEAR REACTORS CONTAINING FUEL ELEMENTS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4107613
Five embodiments are described of a fuel element which contains an outer ring of eight fuel rods and an inner fuel region richer in fissile material than the outer ring. The inner region may consist of a single fuel rod, several fuel rods, or several fuel plates arranged in various ways, and cooling tubes are provided in all the fissile parts. The value of the fuel element design is in that the consumption of rich fissile material is reduced without losing its advartages, e.g., reduction of minimum reactor size for chain reaction and increased fuel burn-up limits.
