Creators

Description

In a fuel element stringer for a gas cooled graphite moderated nuclear reactor, the graphite sleeves of each fuel element are coupled together by spigot and socket formation and bear against one another at mating conical end to afford improved mechanical stiffness and damping when the stringer undergoes raising and lowering movements within the reactor.
