IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO GAS COOLED GRAPHITE MODERATED NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4843870
A gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor is designed for more even temperature distribution in the core. Heatinsulating sleeves are inserted into enlarged bores at the lower part of the fuel channels to form annular heat- insulating spaces between the channels and sleeves. Provision is made for coolant flow in the sleeves in order to prevent axial instabilities due to transient flux peaks. (D.L.C.)
