摘要:
In a fuel assembly (1), a plurality of fuel rods (2) are arranged in an array of 10 rows and 10 columns in the cross section of the fuel assembly (1). A flow resistance member (15) is disposed in a central portion in the cross section at upper end portions of partial length fuel rods (2) which are a part of the fuel rods (2). In the flow resistance member (15), resistance members (16, 17) are each disposed between ferrules (9) arranged in an array of 6 rows and 6 columns in the diagonal direction of the flow resistance member (15). Resistance members (16, 17) are each disposed between the ferrules (9) in a peripheral portion of the flow resistance member (15). By disposing the resistance members (16, 17), the pressure loss in an inner region in the cross section of the fuel assembly (1) is increased, and the flow rate of a gas-liquid two-phase flow in an outer region surrounding the inner region is increased.

摘要:
A fuel assembly for use in a core of a nuclear power reactor. The assembly includes a frame shaped and configured to fit within the nuclear reactor internal core structure; and a plurality of helically twisted fuel elements supported by the frame in a fuel rod bundle. Each of the fuel elements includes fissile material. When viewed in a cross-section that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the fuel assembly, the outermost fuel elements of the fuel rod bundle define a substantially circular perimeter. Other features, and a nuclear reactor, are also described.

A bottom nozzle (100) includes a skirt (10), support blocks (20), transverse blades (30) and longitudinal blades (40). The skirt (10) is a hollow structure and a bottom thereof is provided with corner legs (11) which are protruded downwards, a cavity is defined in the hollow structure, the transverse blades (30) are configured in the cavity, the longitudinal blades (40) are configured in the cavity, the transverse blades (30) and longitudinal blades (40) are firmly connected with the skirt (10), projections of the transverse blades (30) and the longitudinal blades (40) in a level plane are intersectant to form interleaved grids, and the support blocks (20) run through and are fixed on the transverse blades (30) and the longitudinal blades (40). In such a way, the bottom nozzle (100) forms a three-dimensional gridded water passage, thereby improving the filter capacity and generating small water pressure drop.
摘要:
A fuel channel assembly for a nuclear reactor may include an inner conduit received within an outer conduit that has an outer upper end connectable to a coolant outlet and an outer lower end. The inner conduit may have an inner upper end connectable to a coolant source and an inner lower end axially spaced apart from the inner upper end and disposed within the outer conduit to enable coolant to circulate from the coolant source to the coolant outlet through both the inner and outer conduits. A fuel bundle chamber may be between an inner surface of the outer conduit and an outer surface of the inner conduit and may at least partially laterally surround the inner conduit. The fuel bundle chamber fluidly connecting the inner lower end and the outer upper end to enable the coolant to flow upward through the fuel bundle chamber.
