Nuclear fuel rod having an offset plenum

Patent Hines, D.P.
Fuel rod with annular nuclear fuel pellets having same U-235 enrichment and different annulus sizes for graduated enrichment loading

Patent Mildrum, C.M.

A fuel rod is described for a nuclear reactor fuel assembly, comprising: (a) a hollow cladding tube; (b) a pair of end plugs connected to and sealing the cladding tube at opposite ends thereof; (c) a plurality of fuel pellets contained on the tube and being composed of fissile material having a single enrichment the value of which is at the level of the maximum enrichment loading of the rod, the pellets having provided in a stack having one end disposed adjacent to one of the end plugs and an opposite end disposed remote from the other of the endmore »« less
Nuclear control rod having embedded filaments

Patent Jones, C.R.

A nuclear reactor control rod for regulating or shutting-down the power of a nuclear reactor is described. The control rod features filaments of a neutron absorber bonded together and to a foil backing to form a sheet. Plural sheets are laminated to form a plate, and plural plates may be joined together in a cruciform shape. A preferred method to make such a control comprises forming the sheets by plasma-spraying a corrosionresistant metal to bond the filaments to the foil backing. (Official Gazette)
NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL ROD HAVING PARTICULATE CORE

Patent Gale, R.H.; Burdg, C.E.
Nuclear fuel rod grid spring and dimple structures having chamfered edges for reduced pressure drop

Patent De Mario, E.E.

This patent describes a nuclear fuel rod grid including inner and outer straps being interleaved with one another to form a matrix of hollow cells, each cell for receiving one fuel rod and being defined by pairs of opposing wall sections of the straps which wall sections are shared with adjacent cells, each cell having a central longitudinal axis defining a coolant flow direction through the cell, at least fuel rod engaging dimple structure of resiliently yieldable material being integrally formed on each wall section of the inner straps.
