Nuclear reactor fuel element spacer grid
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4362327
A spacer grid for a nuclear reactor fuel assembly is of cellular form being constructed, for example, from two superimposed layers of cojoined tubular ferrules. Each of the fuel pins passes through a corresponding pair of ferrules in the two layers. Two circumferentially spaced rigid support members extend into one of each pair of ferrules and a single rigid support member extends into the other of the pair of ferrules. The fuel pin extending through each pair of ferrules contacts the rigid support members therein, the rigid support members being positioned at points on the corner of a triangle and the fuel pin being biassed into contact with the support members by a bow spring extending between the pair of ferrules.
