METHOD OF PRODUCING CANNED FUEL RODS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4694049
Canned fuel rods can be produced by bending a strip of metal into a tubular form with the longitudinal edges adjacent and outwardly flanged, twisting the tubular part about its longitudinal axis to give the flanged edges a helical form, and welding the flanges together to form a tube with an external helical rib formed by the joined flanges. The fuel, in pellet form, is placed in the tubular ford before or after the twisting and welding; and the ends are plugged. (D.C.W.)
