FUEL ELEMENTS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4834890

Fuel elements which consist of an assembly of parallel sheathed fuel plates in a rectangular box are described. Each relatively thin sheath is provided on one or both sides with a number of relatively strong, straight or curved, longitudinal ribs which serve as spacers and allow a certain deformation of the sheaths. The sheaths are manufactured from two sheets, the reinforced edges of which are bent inwardly and welded together. To enable some dilation of the fuel plates a clearance is left between the edges of the plates and the welded edges of the sheath. (NPO)
