FUEL ELEMENT FOR NEUTRONIC REACTORS

Patent Evans, T.C.; Beasley, E.G.

A fuel element for neutronic reactors, particularly the gas-cooled type of reactor, is described. The element comprises a fuel-bearing plate rolled to form a cylinder having a spiral passageway passing from its periphery to its center. In operation a coolant is admitted to the passageway at the periphery of the element, is passed through the spiral passageway, and emerges into a central channel defined by the inner turn of the rolled plate. The advantage of the element is that the fully heated coolant (i.e., coolant emerging into the central channel) is separated and thus insulated from the periphery of themore »« less
VENTED FUEL ELEMENT FOR GAS-COOLED NEUTRONIC REACTORS

Patent Furgerson, W.T.

A hollow, porous-walled fuel element filled with fissionable fuel and provided with an outlet port through its wall is described. In operation in a gas-cooled reactor, the element is connected, through its outlet port, to the vacuum side of a pump that causes a portion of the coolant gas flowing over the exterior surface of the element to be drawn through the porous walls thereof and out through the outlet port. This continuous purging gas flow sweeps away gaseous fission products as they are released by the fissioning fuel. (AEC) A fuel element for a nuclear reactor incorporating a bodymore »« less
FUEL ELEMENT FOR NEUTRONIC REACTORS

Patent Stacy, J.T.; Saller, H.A.; Porembka, S.W. Jr.

The fuel element consists of a core of uranium dioxide embedded in a binary niobium alloy containing 5 to 10 wt% of titanium and a corrosion-resistant jacket around the core. (AEC)
MECHANICAL HANDLING APPARATUS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEAR FUEL REACTORS

Patent Davies, D.R.

Apparatus is described for handling rod-type fuel elements arranged in vertical passages in the core. The loading structure is situated in the core chamber below the core and is rotatable about a vertical axis. (R.J.S.)
