Patent ·
OSTI ID:4837756

The manufacture of fuel elements which consist of a number of parallel sheathed fuel plates that are held together by two transverse side plates is described. The fuel plates are placed in grooves in the side plates (clearance about 0.18 mm) after which the plates are bonded together by exerting a pressure of about 6 tons/cm on the edges of the side plates. The bond can be reinforced by putting some SiC, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, or BeO powder in the grooves. (NPO)
