IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4108353
A fuel-element assembly, consisting of a finned fuel element mounted in a carrier with vertical struts so that the element weight is supported by the carrier, is redesigned to minimize fuel-element bowing due to high temperatures, which may lead to assembly jamming in the fuel passage. This minimization is accomplished by bands encircling the fuel element at intermediate points and secured to the vertical struts of the carrier. Drawings are included. (D.L.C.)
