NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH FUEL ELEMENT

Patent Walker, C.J.

Fuel elements with improvedd heat transfer propertiess are produced by sandwiching a layer of metal containing small elongated cells for the fuel material between two layers of cladding metal that are stressed to resist internal gas pressures. High fuel temperatures are avoided since heat from the fuel cell can pass parallel to the element surface into the central ply and then proceed perpendicularly to the element surface. The metal surrounding the fuel cells is all of higher conductivity than the fuel. (D.C.W.)
Nuclear fuel element with axially aligned fuel pellets and fuel microspheres therein

Patent Sease, J.D.; Harrington, F.E.

Elongated single- and multi-region fuel elements are prepared by replacing within a cladding container a coarse fraction of fuel material which includes plutonium and uranium in the appropriate regions of the fuel element and then infiltrating with vibration a fine-sized fraction of uranium-containing microspheres throughout all interstices in the coarse material in a single loading. The fine, rigid material defines a thin annular layer between the coarse fraction and the cladding to reduce adverse mechanical and chemical interactions. (Official Gazette)
Method of inserting fuel rods into individual cells in a fuel element grid

Patent Jabsen, F.S.
FUEL-BREEDER FUEL ELEMENT FOR NUCLEAR REACTOR

Patent Abbott, W.E.; Balent, R.

A fuel element design to facilitate breeding reactor fuel is described. The fuel element is comprised of a coatainer, a central core of fertile material in the container, a first bonding material surrounding the core, a sheet of fissionable material immediately surrounding the first bonding material, and a second bonding material surrounding the fissionable material and being in coniact with said container.
Nuclear fuel element containing sintered uranium dioxide fuel with a fine particulate dispersion of an oxide additive therein, and method of making same.

Patent Rigby, F.; Brian, J.
