Supporting rack for nuclear fuel rods

Description

This invention relates to a supporting rack for nuclear fuel rods. It particularly concerns facilities for laterally supporting a storage rack of nuclear fuel under water. This nuclear fuel rack is placed in a containment with virtually vertical walls. It includes a certain number of cells each of which is dimensionally designed to take one fuel rod and is so placed that one side is practically parallel with one of the walls in question and at a certain distance from it. It also includes a structure for counteracting seismic movements
