    摘要: A fuel assembly comprises a plurality of fuel rods (3) supported by an upper tie plate (7) and a lower tie plate (8) respectively at each of upper end portion and lower end portion, and a channel box (2, 2A) surrounding a bundle of the fuel rods (3) and the lower tie plate (8). The fuel assembly forms a natural uranium region at lower end portion of effective fuel length portion. A wall thickness at a lower thick wall region of the channel box (2, 2A) is thicker than the wall thickness at a region locating upward from the lower thick wall region and between corner portions of the channel box. Upper end of the lower thick wall region locates upward from upside of the lower tie plate and downward from upper end of the natural uranium region. A wall thickness at the corner portion of the channel box (2, 2A) is thicker than the wall thickness at middle portion of said wall between the corner positions at the region locating upward from the lower thick wall region.
    The fuel assembly is able to reduce stresses caused in the channel box (2, 2A) in an earthquake, and, is able to improve fuel economy.

    摘要: A method pf producing a composite nuclear fuel cladding lined with a liner of high purity zirconium charaterized in that a raw material of zirconium sponge disposed in a hearth cavity is irradiated with an electron beam while controlling an amount of heat per a unit volume (Ws/mm³) according to an oxygen removal rate of the raw material determined by oxygen concentration of the raw material and a target oxygen concentration of an ingot for a liner to be refined, and zircaloy cladding is lined with the liner. The hearth cavity has a preferable shape in which the ratio of the cavity surface to the cavity volume is 0.20mm⁻¹ or larger.

    摘要: Disclosed are a composite member capable of suitably suppressing the excess reactivity without addition of a neutron absorbing material or burnable poison in fuel rods by use of a Zr-Gd alloy improved in characteristics of pure Gd as the neutron absorbing material, and a fuel assembly, cladding tube, spacer, water rod, channel box, and control rod using the composite member. In particular, disclosed is a fuel assembly in which at least one of a cladding tube, spacer, water rod, channel box, and control rod employs a composite member which is composed of a member made from a Zr-Gd alloy containing 20 wt% or more of Gd and a member made from a Zr alloy higher in corrosion resistance than the Zr-Gd alloy, wherein the member made from the Zr-Gd alloy is incorporated in the member made from the Zr alloy.

    摘要: A zirconium-based alloy with a high corrosion resistance, consisting essentially of 1 to 2wt% Sn, 0.20 to 0.35wt% Fe, 0.03 to 0.16wt% Ni and the balance substantially Zr. The Fe/Ni content ratio of the alloy ranges between 1.4 and 8. The structure of the alloy has a fine intermetallic compound of Sn and Ni precipitated within the zirconium crystal grain of a-phase. The alloy may further contain 0.05 to 0.15wt% Cr. This alloy exhibits reduced hydrogen absorption rate and suffers from no nodular corrosion, so that it can suitably be used as a material of nuclear fuel cladding tubes (1). The nuclear fuel cladding tube (1) made of this alloy exhibits extended service life when used in a nuclear reactor of high degree of burn-up.
