摘要： The spacer for a nuclear fuel bundle includes unit cells having upper and lower, generally octagonally shaped walls connected one to the other by spring leg portions along sides thereof 90.degree. apart. The walls also carry stops in opposition to the sides of the walls to which the spring leg portions are connected. By orienting the cells in the spacer such that the majority of the cells have their stops lying toward one side of the spacer, the fuel bundle can be disposed in a horizontal position on the one side of the spacers. In that manner, the dead load of the fuel rods and spacers is borne by the stops along the underside of each spacer without substantially loading the springs of the spacer cells.

摘要： A spacer for a nuclear fuel bundle comprises a plurality of discrete, generally cylindrical ferrules, with each ferrule having a pair of circumferentially spaced fuel rod contacting portions along one side of the ferrule and three superposed openings in the ferrule along an opposite side thereof. A leaf spring having opposite end projecting portions and a central projecting portion is disposed between adjacent ferrules with the end projecting portions and the central portion disposed within the openings of the ferrule. The central portion includes a boss projecting inwardly for engagement against the fuel rod in one ferrule and the end projections contain bosses projecting inwardly and spaced from the fuel rod of the one ferrule. The end projections bear against an adjacent ferrule. The spring is captured between the two ferrules and contacts the ferrules at a plurality of laterally and vertically spaced contact points so that the spring is stabilized against flow-induced vibration.

摘要： The spacer comprises a plurality of strips interleaved with one another to form an eggcrate-type pattern defining essentially rectilinear cells for each fuel rod. Each strip includes a central body portion with cantilevered loop spring-like projections extending to opposite sides, with spring contact portions projecting inwardly. Stops are provided along each of the central body regions of the strips intermediate the loop springs that project to the opposite side of the strip. Adjoining walls have loop spring portions for biasing the rod into engagement with opposing stops whereby each fuel rod is supported at six contact points, i.e., four spring contact points and two hard stop contacts opposite the paired spring contacts.

摘要： A sub-assembly for a spacer in a nuclear fuel bundle includes at least first and second ferrules lying adjacent one another for receiving respective nuclear fuel rods. Each ferrule has fuel rod contacting points along one side of the ferrule for abutting a fuel rod within the ferrule, and a substantially I-shaped opening along a side of the ferrule opposite the one side. A substantially I-shaped spring adapted to seat within the opening includes a spring body lying in a plane and having opposite horizontal end portions connected by a vertical stem portion, a central portion of each of the horizontal end portions projecting away from the substantially I-shaped opening to one side of the plane and a center portion of the vertical stem projecting into the substantially I-shaped opening to an opposite side of the plane. The spring is adapted to be disposed between the adjacent ferrules with the vertical stem seated in the opening of the first ferrule with the center portion of the stem adapted to bear against the fuel rod within the first ferrule and maintaining the fuel rod against the fuel rod contacting points of the first ferrule. The horizontal end portions lie with the central portions of each end portion bearing directly against the second ferrule circumferentially between a pair of the fuel rod contacting points of the second ferrule.

摘要： A spacer includes a plurality of ferrules welded to one another to form a structural integral matrix for locating fuel rods in a fuel bundle. Each ferrule has a pair of stops along one side of the ferrule and a central opening along its opposite side. An elongated flat spring having openings straddling a central cross-piece is disposed along an outer edge of the ferrule with the spring openings receiving band portions of the ferrule above and below the opening through the ferrule. The intermediate cross-piece bears against an adjoining ferrule whereby the end portions of the spring bear against the rod in the one ferrule, biasing it against the opposite stops. Thus ferrule/spring construction reduces the quantity of material of the ferrule, thereby improving performance without sacrificing structural integrity.
摘要翻译： 间隔件包括彼此焊接的多个套圈，以形成用于将燃料棒定位在燃料束中的结构整体式基体。 每个套圈在套圈的一侧具有一对止动件，沿其相对侧具有中心开口。 具有穿过中心横截面的开口的细长的平面弹簧沿着套圈的外边缘设置，弹簧开口通过套圈将开口的上方和下方的套圈的带部分接收。 中间横件靠在相邻的套圈上，由此弹簧的端部抵靠在一个套圈中的杆上，将其抵靠相对的止挡件偏压。 因此，套圈/弹簧结构减小了套圈的材料的数量，从而在不牺牲结构完整性的情况下提高性能。
