Fuel assembly guide tube

Creators

Description

A fuel assembly guide tube arrangement is presented which restrains spacer grid movement without the introduction of additional material, permits assembly and disassembly of the fuel assembly, and offers a secondary means of support during fuel assembly handling operations in the event that the guide tubes become disengaged from the lower end fitting. Protruberances are formed at ninety-degree intervals about the guide tube, longitudinally spaced such that they can be disposed adjacent either side of a spacer grid plate or centrally between saddle projections formed on the grid plates
