REFLECTOR CONTROL OF A BOILING-WATER REACTOR

Patent Treshow, M.

A line connecting the reactor with a spent steam condenser contains a valve set to open when the pressure in the reactor exceeds a predetermined value and an orifice on the upstream side of the valve. Another line connects the reflector with this line between the orifice and the valve. An excess steam pressure causes the valve to open and the flow of steam through the line draws water out of the reflector. Provision is also made for adding water to the reflector when the steam pressure drops. (AEC)
Fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor

Patent Andersson, I.; Santen, A.V.

A boiling water reactor fuel assembly is described which has vertical fuel rods and guide tubes positioned below the fuel rods and receiving control rod fingers and acting as water pipes, the guide tubes each being formed of a plurality of parts including a part secured to a grid plate positioned in the fuel assembly container, and low parts which fit into holes formed in the bottom of the fuel assembly. There is a flexible connection between the upper and lower parts of the guide tubes to allow for a certain tolerance in the procedure of manufacturing the various partsmore »« less
Boiling water nuclear reactor fuel assembly

Patent Taleyarkhan, R.P.

A fuel assembly is described having fuel rods disposed in side-by-side relationship so as to form an array of spaced fuel rods. An outer tubular flow channel surrounds the fuel rods to direct flow of coolant/moderator fluid along the fuel rods, and a hollow water cross extending through the outer flow channel and having hollow panels extending radially from a central axis. The panels are composed of respective pairs of spaced apart sheet members interconnected together at their inner and outer ends so as to define an open inner cruciform flow channel for subcooled moderator fluid flow through the fuelmore »« less
Boiling water nuclear reactor fuel assembly with cross-flow elimination at upper spacer locations

Patent Taleyarkhan, R.P.

This patent describes a fuel assembly having an array of spaced fuel rods, an outer tubular flow channel surrounding the fuel rods so as to direct flow of coolant/moderator fluid therealong, and a water cross extending through the channel and having radially extending members dividing the array of fuel rods into separate fuel rod mini-bundle subassemblies, each radial member being connected at multiple segments along its outer longitudinal edge to the channel so as to define a series of spaced apart openings between the member and channel which allow cross-flow of coolant/moderator between adjacent subassemblies for pressure equalization therebetween.

CONTROL MEANS FOR A BOILING WATER NUCLEAR REACTOR POWER SYSTEM

Patent Shannon, R.H.; Williamson, H.E.

A simple method has been developed for increasing the power output of a boiling water type nuclear reactor power system in response to sudden increases in load without rendering the system unstable. (R.J.S.)
