Patent ·
OSTI ID:4155846
A high-temperature fuel element for gas-cooled reactors is described, consisting of a substantially impermeable graphite tube, a sectional graphite bar which is axially disposed in the tube by means of a number of graphite spacers, a number of graphite sleeves containing fissile or fertile material which are loosely piled up between the spacers, and graphite end reflectors, one of these being providad with a ventilation channel for the removal of fission gases. Seven of these elements are assembled by means of graphite supporting devices. beryllium may be used everywhere instead of graphite.
