摘要:
A dual-cooled fuel rod's spacer grid with upper and lower dimples, including a blocking area of a flow passage that coolant flows through is reduced and dual-cooled fuel rods are supported, and reduces a turbulent flow of the coolant as well as vibrations of the dual-cooled fuel rods, thereby lessening fretting damage done to the rods. The spacer grid includes a plurality of unit grid straps, each of which includes a body disposed in a vertical direction, an upper dimple protruding from an upper portion of the body, and a lower dimple spaced apart from the upper dimple in a downward direction and protruding from a lower portion of the body. The unit grid straps form a grid structure that have inner grid holes into which the dual-cooled fuel rods are held, and the held dual-cooled fuel rods are each supported in four directions by the upper and lower dimples.
摘要:
In a method of producing large-grained nuclear fuel pellet, Cr-compound contained in an uranium oxide green pellet is reduced to Cr phase at 1,470° C. or below and maintained to the Cr phase, and the uranium oxide green pellet containing the Cr-compound is then sintered at 1,650° C.-1,800° C. in a gas atmosphere of oxygen potential at which Cr element in the uranium oxide green pellet becomes liquid phase.
