IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL ELEMENTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4810517

A fuel element for gas-cooled reactors is designed with means for restraining the element against vibration induced by coolant flow. The means comprises a plurality of bimetallic strip members attached to the element in such a way that an increase in ambient temperature causes the members to expand and contact the channel wall.
