    摘要: A cylindrical fuel element having a sheath (11) contains a central core (12) of particulate depleted urania or other particulate fuel(s) of low enrichment. The central core is surrounded by an outer annular volume (13) of one or more particulate highly enriched fuels, thus providing a radial enrichment gradient ecross the fuel cross-section. The higher enriched particulate fuel is concentrated close to the sheath (11) and more nuclear events will take place near the sheath surface. The thermal efficacy of the fuel element is increased due to the shortened thermal conductance pathways through the poorly conductive urania. The fuel element's operating fue! centerline temperature at a given power output is significantly reduced. Preferably the particulate fuels are mixtures of three types of substantially spherical particles of different diameter sizes.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for dissolving PuO 2 , or nuclear reactor fuel containing P U 0 2 and/or Np0 2 , in an aqueous medium containing nitric acid. The process comprises electrolytically continuously maintaining and regenerating an oxidizing reagent, being at least one compound of Ce, Ag, Co or Am which is soluble in the said medium. The regenerable reagent may be added to the mixture of oxide(s) and nitric acid, or may already be present in situ as a fission product or other nuclear reaction product in irradiated nuclear reactor fuel.

    摘要: An apparatus for continuously providing counter-current liquid-solid contact. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus includes an Archimedes' screw in the form of a spiral (24) and a distribution system which includes a central tube (6) disposed along the axis of the spiral. The central tube includes a plurality of weirs (20) and is in open communication with the spiral through a plurality of hollow spokes (22) fixed at one end to the spiral and at the other end to the central tube.
    Dissolving solution is distributed by the distribution system to the spiral when it encounters nuclear material moving upward due to the pumping action of the spiral. The dissolved material moves counter-current to the nuclear material and is removed near the bottom of the apparatus.

    摘要: mechanism for testing fuel rods (34) in nuclear fuel bundles includes a carriage (16), carrying an elongated probe (21, and a grooved plate (26). The grooves (24) extend parallel to the probe (2) and are spaced by the same distances as rows of fuel rods (34) in the fuel bundle (36). They are connected at one end. A pin (22) on the carriage (16) fits in the grooves (24). A hydraulic cylinder (32) reciprocates the carriage (16) longitudinally of the grooves (24) and a pneumatic cylinder (38) urges it laterally, so that the pin (22) moves from one groove (24) to the next groove (24) at the end of each reciprocatory cycle.

    摘要: A feeding apparatus for the loading of the spherical nuclear fuel into a fuel rod (2) feeds fuel of three differfent diameters into a fuel rod (2) so that the three different sized spheres are appropriately packed to achieve sufficient density of fuel to be used in a nuclear reactor. This is achieved by individually controlling the delivery flow rate of the nuclear fuel spheres of each size, using gates (114) defining an opening of a preselected width (w) and height (h).
