Another Calder patent, this deals with the method of supporting the stack of fuel elements to allow for differential expansion between the base support members and the moderator. It also provides a shear pin and broach device at the bottom of the column so that the accidental dropping of a fuel elenment on to the column does not cause permanent damage. The assembly also includes an annular plate, known as the gag, by means of which the amount of coolant entering the particular channel can be regulated.
