    摘要: Disclosed herein is a guide thimble of a nuclear fuel assembly, which is capable of improving the cooling performance and the stability of a nuclear fuel, preventing a flow split in dual-cooling nuclear fuel rod and guide thimble sub channels for obtaining high combustion degree and high power, and minimizing a neutron absorption section in a reaction degree region. Since the guide thimble having the dual tube type structure is adopted, a flow split in the fuel rod and guide thimble sub channels can be reduced, and the degradation in performance of nuclear fuel due to increase of a neutron absorption section can be prevented. In order for compatibility with an existing control rod, a typical guide tube is used as an inner guide thimble, and an outer guide thimble is provided outside the inner guide thimble. Thus, the guide thimble has the dual tube type structure as a whole, and is coupled to the upper and lower end fittings so that it can prevent a flow unbalance due to the flow split in the fuel rod and guide thimble sub channels.

    摘要: A porous plenum spacer is inserted into the plenum of a dual-cooled fuel rod having concentric inner and outer cladding tubes. The porous plenum spacer includes a hollow cylindrical body inserted into the annular space between the inner and outer cladding tubes. The hollow cylindrical body includes a plurality of through-holes formed in an outer circumference thereof or at least one groove formed in one of outer and inner circumferences thereof in a lengthwise direction. Pores formed by the through-holes or the grooves of the hollow cylindrical body of the porous plenum spacer are allowed to secure a space containing fission gas inevitably generated by a nuclear reaction.

    摘要: A spacer grid used for placing and supporting fuel rods in nuclear reactor fuel assemblies is disclosed. The spacer grid of this invention has a plurality of grid springs designed to have an optimal shape of their vertical support parts, thus reducing fretting wear of the fuel rods caused by contact of the fuel rods with the grid springs. The grid spring has a vertical support part and a fuel rod support part. The vertical support part includes upper and lower base parts extending downward and upward from the central portions of the top and bottom edges of an opening formed at the central portion of a unit strip, and two bridge parts branched from the upper base part and extending symmetrically downward until they are united at the lower base part. The fuel rod support part includes a conformal support part brought into surface contact with the external surface of a fuel rod. Two transverse connection parts extend outward from the opposite outside edges of the conformal support part while being specifically bent, and are integrated with the central portions of the inside edges of the two bridge parts into a single structure, thus connecting the fuel rod support part to the vertical support part.
