IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL ELEMENTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4759485

A reactor fuel element of the elongated, finned type with the ends equipped for stacking end to end is designed with means for restraining the element against coolant-flowinduced vibration in a fuel channel. The element is provided with a member extending part way around the periphery of the element so that the coolant flow exerts a lateral force on the member to move the element into a stable position. Three embodiments of the member are described. (D.L.C.)
