    摘要: A fuel assembly comprises a plurality of fuel rods, tie plates for holding both ends of these fuel rods, and spacers which support these fuel rods. The spacer comprises a plurality of cells into which the fuel rods are inserted respectively, the adjacent cells being joined to each other at axial ends thereof, whereby a space between these cells being held or retained, and a plurality of loop springs held respectively on the cells. Each of the loop springs has a pair of resilient members which are located within the pair of adjacent cells and which urge the fuel rods in a radial direction, and a pair of connections which connect axial ends of the resilient members to each other. Each of the connections have a passage through which coolant flows axially and which is defined by a closed peripheral wall. The closed peripheral wall is not uniform in thickness. The pair of adjacent cells have at axial end portions of peripheral walls openings for accommodating or receiving the connections of the loop spring.

    摘要: The lower end of each of a plurality of fuel rods is supported by a fuel supporting portion of a lower tie plate. The fuel supporting portion includes a plurality of second coolant paths for supplying a coolant from below the fuel supporting portion to a first coolant path defined above the fuel supporting portion and between the fuel rods. The total cross-sectional area of all the second coolant paths is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first coolant path. A water rod disposed between the fuel rods each includes an ascending tube path having therein a coolant ascending path having a coolant inlet port opening to a region below the fuel supporting portion, for guiding upward the coolant supplied through the coolant inlet port, and a descending tube having therein a coolant descending path having a coolant delivery port opening to said first coolant path, for guiding downward the coolant guided by said coolant ascending path and discharging the coolant through the coolant delivery port to the first coolant path. The descending tube path is so disposed outside the ascending tube path as to define a gap, through which the coolant inside the first coolant path flows, between it and the ascending tube path.

    摘要: A fuel assembly comprises a plurality of fuel rods which contain nuclear fuel material inside, a lower tie plate which holds the lower end of the fuel rods and has a path inside to lead coolant between the fuel rods, and a channel box which encloses a bundle of the fuel rods. An orifice, in which a plurality of round rods are arranged to cross the coolant flow path, is installed in a through hole at a side wall of the lower tie plate by connecting to the side wall. Orifice coefficient of the orifice becomes large at small flow rate of coolant which supplied to the fuel assembly, and becomes small at large flow rate of coolant. By using the fuel assembly described above, void fraction in a gap region between fuel assemblies can be altered during beginning and end of an operation cycle of the nuclear reactor.

    摘要: A second fuel rod positioned at each corner of a channel box and second fuel rods adjacent to the former are formed to have a smaller outer diameter than that of ordinary first fuel rods, so that a pitch between the second fuel rods is narrower than a pitch between the first fuel rods. Making the outer diameter of the second fuel rods smaller than that of the first fuel rods reduces the power per unit length of the second fuel rods. The narrower pitch between the second fuel rods than the pitch between the first fuel rods provides two effects. First, a unit lattice cell becomes so small as to avoid an increase in the H/U ratio. Secondly, a new moderator region is formed between the second fuel rods and the first fuel rods adjacent thereto, the moderator region acting to intensify thermal neutron flux around those first fuel rods. These two effects enable a further reduction in the power per unit length of the second fuel rods. As a result, a fuel assembly intended for higher burn-up can be realized by increasing enrichment, while suppressing an increase in the local power peaking factor at corners of the fuel assembly.
