    摘要: An active zone includes a homogeneous uranium-plutonium nitride fuel, the mass fraction of which is a minimum 0.305, and consists of central, intermediate and peripheral parts which form fuel assemblies comprising fuel elements with geometrically identical shells but differing heights. The radial distribution of the fuel across the volume of the active zone has a stepped shape. The radius of the central part is from 0.4 to 0.5 of the effective active zone radius, while the height of the fuel column in the fuel elements in the central part is from 0.5 to 0.8 of the height of the fuel column in the peripheral part. The heights of the fuel columns forming a stepped intermediate part for diameters ranging from 0.5 to 0.85 of the effective active zone diameter are within the range from 0.55 to 0.9 of the height of the fuel column in the peripheral part.

    摘要: A method for protecting the components of the primary system of a boiling water reactor, especially against stress cracking corrosion, includes feeding a reducing agent into the primary coolant in order to reduce the number of substances having a oxidizing effect or in order to modify the electrochemical potential of the component surfaces covered with an oxide layer to negative values. An alcohol that can be oxidized in the conditions of a reactor is fed in as a reducing agent, preferably in a liquid form, into the primary coolant. The component surfaces are provided with a blank coating or a single intrinsic oxide coating.

    摘要: Example embodiment damping devices may include a housing capturing a piston. The housing may be filled and/or able to be filled with a damping fluid compatible with the nuclear reactor coolant, so that a leak from the housing or coolant passing into the housing does not damage the reactor or example embodiment devices. Example embodiments may further include one or more springs that provide an elastic force opposing movement between the piston and housing. A shaft of the piston and an end of the housing may be connected to two nuclear reactor components with relative motion or vibration to be damped. Example methods may use example embodiment damping devices to reduce and/or prevent relative motion and vibration among components of a nuclear reactor.

    摘要: A T-shaped pipe fitting element comprises a main tubular branch having first and second ends for connection to first and second pipe fitting sections of an auxiliary circuit, respectively, and a lateral branch having an axis which is at an angle to the axis of the main branch, and a free end for connecting to a third pipe fitting section of the auxiliary circuit. The first, second, and third pipe fitting sections each have different functions. One supplies the pipe fitting element with a first fluid at a high temperature, another supplies a second fluid to the pipe fitting element, at a lower temperature than the first fluid, and the third discharges a mixture of the first and second fluids. The pipe fitting sections consist of austenitic stainless steel. The T-shaped pipe fitting consists of stainless martensitic steel with improved thermal endurance properties.

    摘要: A method for production of a fuel cladding tube for a nuclear reactor, characterized by the preparation of an ingot of an alloy of zirconium with the following composition by weight %: 0.8%≦Nb≦2.8%, traces≦Sn≦0.65%, 0.015%≦Fe≦0.40%, C≦100 ppm, 600 ppm≦O≦2300 ppm, 5 ppm≦S≦100 ppm, Cr+V≦0.25%, Hf≦75 ppm and F≦1 ppm the remainder being zirconium and impurities arising from production. The ingot is then subjected to forging, a hardening and thermomoechanical treatments comprising cold laminations separated by intermediate annealing, all intermediate annealings being carried out at a temperature below the α→α+β transition temperature of the alloy, finishing with a recrystallization annealing and resulting in the production of a tube, whereupon an optional external cleaning of the tube is carried out and a mechanical polishing of the external surface of the tube is carried out to give a roughness Ra less than or equal to 0.5 μm. The invention further relates to a fuel cladding tube obtained thereby.
