A fuel element for nuclear reactor
Creators
Description
The element comprises a spacing member such that it establishes a contact with said element at a plurality of regularly spaced points, so that the coolant can flow between said member and the fuel element and between the contact points. The spacing member can be constituted by one coiled wire or two twisted wires. That arrangement can be used for spacing the fuel element or pins of a bundle forming an assembly in the core of a nuclear reactor
Abstract (French)
L'element comporte un organe d'ecartement sous une forme qui etablit un contact avec l'element combustible en une serie de points intermittents equidistants de maniere que le fluide caloporteur puisse passer entre l'organe et l'element combustible et entre les points de contact. L'organe d'ecartement peut se composer d'un fil metallique en forme de boudin ou de deux fils metalliques torsades. Ceci est applicable a l'ecartement des elements combustibles ou aiguilles de combustible d'un faisceau constituant un assemblage d'un coeur de reacteur nucleaireAdditional details
