MOUNTING DEVICE FOR THE FUEL ELEMENT PLATES OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4810299
Reactor fuel elements that consist of a plurality of flat, elongated, generally rectangular fuel plates are provided with supporting members having also a plate shape for holding these fuel plates in a spaced overlying relationship relative to one another. The method of joining these fuel plates with the supporting member consists in longitudinally splitting an edge of each of the plates; stacking the plates in spaced, overlying relationship relative to one another by placing removable blocks between adjacent plates; clamping the stock of plates and blocks together; forming on the supporting members a plurality of tapered channels, each having an outwardly disposed wedge surface on its innermost face; and forcing the split edges of the stacked plates into the channels and against the wedges, thereby spreading the split edges around the wedges and into conforming relationship with the sides of the tapered channels.
