    摘要: A fuel assembly for a nuclear fast neutron reactor comprises a shroud having an upstream head piece and a downstream tail piece. The shroud houses fuel elements having portions filled with fissionable and raw materials and plenums serving as accumulation reservoirs for fission gases evolved in the fuel. The fission-gas plenums are divided into a central and peripheral groups. At least one of these groups is positioned in the tail piece of the fuel assembly shroud downstream of the coolant inlet ports before the portions filled with fissionable and raw materials.

    摘要: A nuclear fuel element comprises an elongated tube having upper and lower end plugs fixed to both ends thereof and nuclear fuel pellets contained within the tube. The fuel pellets are held against the lower end plug by a spring which is supported by a setting structure. The setting structure is maintained at a proper position at the middle of the tube by a wedge effect caused by spring force exerted by the spring against a set of balls coacting with a tapered member of the setting structure thereby wedging the balls against the inner wall of the tube and the setting structure is moved free by pushing with a push bar against the spring force so as to release the wedge effect.

    摘要: A method and system for fuel rod pressurization and for verifying when pressurization of a fuel rod containing nuclear fuel has taken place. One end of the loaded fuel rod is inserted into a pressure chamber in sealed relation thereto, whereupon the chamber is evacuated to remove the air present. Then the chamber is pressurized with an inert gas. The fuel rod then is drilled to provide an opening in the end of the fuel rod in the chamber, whereupon the rod is pressurized with the inert gas present in the chamber. Acoustic transducers are attached to the fuel rod at predetermined locations externally of the chamber for monitoring any noise which occurs during the pressurization process, which is transmitted through the metal walls of the rod to the transducers. The transducers generate electrical signals which are proportional to the amplitude of the noise sensed and by observing the signals a calibration of the activity going on can be maintained. A pressure transducer is connected with the pressure chamber for monitoring the status of the pressure in the chamber and providing an output signal which is proportional thereto. The acoustic and pressure signals are processed through appropriate electronic circuitry and recorded in analog and/or digital fashion for providing a comparative indication as to the status of when the necessary steps and activities for pressurization of the fuel rod have been accomplished.

    摘要翻译: 用于燃料棒加压的方法和系统,并且用于验证当包含核燃料的燃料棒的加压是否发生时。 装载的燃料棒的一端以与其密封的关系插入压力室中,由此抽空室以除去存在的空气。 然后用惰性气体对室进行加压。 然后钻出燃料棒以在腔室中的燃料棒的端部提供开口,于是杆被存在于腔室中的惰性气体加压。 声学换能器在室外的预定位置处连接到燃料棒,用于监测在加压过程中发生的任何噪声,其通过杆的金属壁传递到换能器。 换能器产生与所感测的噪声的幅度成比例的电信号,并且通过观察信号可以维持正在进行的活动的校准。 压力传感器与压力室连接,用于监测室内的压力状态并提供与其成比例的输出信号。 声学和压力信号通过适当的电子电路进行处理,并以模拟和/或数字方式进行记录,以提供关于何时完成燃料棒加压的必要步骤和活动的状态的比较指示。
