IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4129392
A fuel element arrangement for reactors with re-entrant cooling systems is designed which reduces the pressure drop of the coolant as it flows from the outer channel into the inner channel containing the fuel elements. This reduction is effected by perforated sleeves enclosing the fuel elements and forming the outer annular and inner channels for re-entrant-cooling. The fuel elements are arranged in seven-rod clusters. (D.L.C.)
