SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR THE FUEL ELEMENTS OF AN ATOMIC PILE
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4164399
The star-shaped core of a fast reactor consists of a hexagonal lattice of alternate long and short cylindrical tubes, locally provided with flat surfaces and staggered slits to enable close contact and intersection of the tubes. The long tubes are fixed to perforated bottom and top tube plates, which are connected to the restraining core envelopment. Tubular fuel elements, provided with groups of helical fins, are placed in and between the tubes and supported by the tube plates, the fins acting as spacers at the tube intersection places. Corresponding slits in the flat parts of the tubes enable passage of coolant from one tube to another.
