Creators

Description

An improved fuel sub-assembly for use in liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactors is described. With this design a larger area of the fuel sub-assembly is presented to the coolant flow thus ensuring that fatigue damage during operation and contact damage during refuelling operations are reduced. (U.K.)
