    摘要: A grid for use in nuclear fuel assemblies is made up of double grid members which are deformed so as to provide channels for the coolant. At least the upper portions (12) of these channels are inclined relative to the axes of the fuel rods and are disposed in such a manner as to cause circulation of fluid about each individual rod and within the assembly. In one embodiment the grid is positioned between the positioning grids and serves primarily as a coolant deflector. In another embodiment so constructed as to serve the positioning grid, as well as a flow deflector, the channels are straight in their lower portions i.e. parallel to the axes of the fuel rods. In their upper portions they curve to provide the desired deflection of the cooling fluid and the straight section hence they have a slight bow outward, relative to the plane of the grid member of which they are a part. This outwardly bowed portion engages the fuel rod and acts as a positioning spring. The grid members are cut away ajacent the straight sections to give the necessary flexibility. This design is particularly useful in pressurized water reactors. In grids intended for use in boiling water reactors, where the lateral loading is less severe, the straight portion can be omitted. The two plates may be welded together at their intersections, at their uppper edges only, while the lower edges are left free. In this case, the flexing of the grid memebers themselves serves to provide the spring forces necessary to position the fuel rods. In order to give improved flexibility, and proper fit with the rods when loaded, the surfaces of the channels which contact the fuel rods are given a twisted or helical formation.

    摘要: A full assembly for a boiling water reactor in which water rods (18) for providing moderating effects and enhanced cooling effects comprise an outer tube having inlet openings (22) dis­posed near its lower extremity, intermediate exit openings (24) somewhat above the midpoint of the rods (18) and an inner tube (28) open at its top and bottom, disposed within the upper portion of rod (18) in a critical heat transfer zone (32) and having water outlet openings near the midpoint of heat transfer zone (32).

    摘要: A debris screen (14) for a fuel assembly for a reactor to which coolant fluid is supplied comprises a substantially planar plate member (22) having an array of coolant openings (25) extending through the plate member dimensioned to trap at least a portion of debris particles carried by the coolant; and a skirt member (16) enclosing the periphery of the plate member (22); each of the coolant flow openings (25) having a coolant entry region (19) at a lower surface, a coolant exit region (20) at an upper surface and a coolant flow path extending between the entry and exit regions, the flow path including an intermediate segment (22c) laterally offset from the entry and exit regions to cause coolant to change direction of flow in the intermediate segment and thereby prevent at least a portion of the debris particles from passing through the plate members.

    摘要: A marked reduction in the pressure drop of cooling liquid through a grid spacer of a nuclear fuel assembly is attained by convexly contouring the up­stream (usually the lower) edges (32) of the grid members. Preferably, they are made streamlined or semicylind­rical. This can be done by first beveling and then etching them, by directing a stream of mixture of abrasive and an organic polymer against them, or by traversing an electron or laser beam along them at a power and velocity such as to cause local melting. A lesser improvement is secured by beveling along. A still further improvement can be obtained by also tape­ring the downstream (usually upper) edges (34).
