Description/Abstract:
A METHOD OF ANALYSIS AND NUMERICAL RESULTS ARE PRESENTED FOR THE DESIGN OF CLOSURES FOR CYLINDRICAL FUEL ELEMENTS. A SERIES OF FIRST-ORDER EQUATIONS IS OBTAINED AND NUMERICALLY EVALUATED. BENDING AND SHEAR STRESSES IN THE CLOSURE REGION ARE STUDIED AS FUNCTIONS OF HEIGHT, LENGTH, SHAPE, AND THICKNESS-TO-RADIUS RATIO
