    摘要: A bottom nozzle plate for a fuel assembly in a nuclear reactor. The bottom nozzle plate is formed from a rigid substantially square plate having legs adapted to be positioned on the lower core plate of the reactor for supporting the fuel assembly above coolant inlet openings in the core plate. The rigid square plate has two types of coolant flow holes therethrough. The first flow holes are grouped in clusters of four to define a square pattern relative to the sides of the plate such that the width of the sections of the plate between the flow holes in each cluster is less than the width of the sections of the plate between the clusters of four holes. Each of the second flow holes is formed in an irregular pattern to define a substantially clover leaf shape. The second flow holes are positioned so as to be above the coolant inlet openings in the core plate when the bottom nozzle plate is installed in the reactor.

    摘要: A retainer to provide supplemental holddown force for a control component assembly latched into a fuel assembly of a nuclear reactor. Upon failure of latching mechanism the retainer precludes the ejection of the control component assembly from the fuel assembly by the upward coolant flow drage force. The spring loaded retainer is mounted at the top of the control component assembly and engages both the control component assembly and the core grid plate to form a structural blocking of the grid plate hole thereby precluding the ejection of the control component assembly therethrough.

    摘要: A weld fixture for receiving and aligning the fuel rod contact points of a nuclear fuel bundle spacer grid. Two plates are provided with intersecting unequally spaced slots that define polygons on one side of each plate. Both plates have bores therethrough substantially at the slot intersections and in the slots adjacent the outer edges of the plates. Bores are provided through both plates in polygons that correspond to fuel assembly guide tube and instrument tube locations. These positions receive guide cell pins during use, some of which are hollow and are used to bolt the plates together over the spacer grid strips. Bores in each plate through the defined polygons receive alignment pins. Guide rods receive and align the plates through corner bores in each plate. The slots and pins in the facing plates align the critical fuel rod contact points in the spacer grid during the intersection welding process.

    摘要: A mixer grid for a nuclear reactor fuel assembly has a plurality of strips arranged in interlocking rows and columns defining a plurality of cells. A stopper is fixed to each corner of each cell for both directing coolant flow, providing coolant mixing and providing a smooth contact surface for the fuel rod. The stopper is either cone-shaped or cylindrical for directing and channeling coolant flow. The stopper also has a smooth, flat chamfered surface for contacting the fuel rod and minimizing damage upon the shifting of the fuel rod. The grid is attached to the nuclear reactor fuel assembly by using guide cells comprising a plurality of support arches for welding to the nuclear reactor fuel assembly.
