Patent
·
OSTI ID:4177947
A fuel element is presented for a reactor comprising a stack of conical bodies of nonfissionable material disposed with the vertex up carrying wafers of fissionable material in grooves near the periphery. These bodies are in a jacket which contains a thermally conducting liquid immersing the bodies. Gaseous fission preducts pass upwardly through central apertures in the bodies while fragments of fissionable material are trapped by vertical projections or walls on the upper surface of the bodies.
