Gas cooled nuclear reactors
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4354829
A nuclear reactor is described wherein stacks of fuel elements are supported centrally within vertical channels of a graphite moderator by annular discs disposed at each end of each fuel element. The discs have inner and outer diameters to correspond with inner and outer diameters of the fuel elemerts and conical seats complementary to tapers on the ends of the fuel elements. The lowermost disc is secured to the wall of the channel while the remainder are free to slide. The construction maintains uniform coolant flow passages through and about the fuel elements and allows for irradiation growth of the fuel elements and graphite moderator. (Official Gazette)
