    摘要: In order to obviate the use of supporting rods, an upper end piece of a coolant tube penetrates a fuel assembly head of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly and is supported on the fuel assembly head. A lower end piece of the coolant tube is fastened to and supported by a fuel assembly foot, in particular with rods of partial lengths. A supporting skeleton therefore includes the foot and the coolant tube with spacers. The fuel assembly head and a handle are placed on the skeleton and screwed onto the coolant tube after fuel rods are pushed into meshes of the spacer.

    摘要: A fuel assembly includes a cluster of mutually parallel fuel rods. A fuel assembly channel laterally surrounds the cluster of fuel rods and has a substantially rectangular cross section and flat channel walls. Grid-like spacers having meshes formed therein each receive a respective one of the fuel rods for guiding the fuel rods in a plurality of axial positions. At least one support spring laterally supports each respective one of the fuel rods in the mesh guiding the fuel rod. Each of the spacers have inner ribs being aligned parallel to the fuel rods and outer peripheral ribs opposite the channel walls. At least some of the inner ribs are fastened to the peripheral ribs, and the outer peripheral ribs are joined together only by the inner ribs.

    摘要: In a fuel assembly, lower end pieces of fuel rods, guide tubes and coolant pipes, etc., are inserted and/or screwed into a base plate and secured against lifting by a bolt. In the case of fuel rods, in particular fuel rods which do not extend over the entire length of normal rods, the bolt is screwed onto connecting parts in such a way that a releasable bayonet closure is produced. In the case of coolant pipes of boiling water reactors, there is provided in particular a screw connection which is irreleasably secured against torsion by the bolt.

    摘要: A gap between a foot part and a channel of a boiling water fuel assembly is sealed against a coolant flow by a spring being supported by a central part thereof against the channel and by sides thereof against the foot part and being clipped and/or clamped on at that location even when all of the fuel rods are removed. For this purpose, the upper edge can extend around the foot part edge or the spring may be constructed as a spring band running entirely around the foot part and being fitted into a lateral groove.

    摘要: In a foot of a fuel assembly of a boiling water reactor, an upper edge of a transition member is tight against a lower edge of a fuel assembly casing to substantially prevent bypass flow between them. Rather, bypass apertures are provided therefor over all sides of the fuel assembly casing. In a first position of a base plate lying on the transition member, the bypass apertures on some sides are blocked by lateral surfaces of the base plate, while in a second position of the base plate, the bypass apertures of other sides are blocked. The direction of the bypass flow can thus be predetermined regardless of the position of the fuel assembly casing.

A foot part for a fuel assembly of a boiling water reactor includes a transitional piece defining and surrounding a flow channel widening in funnel-like fashion upward along a center axis. The transitional piece has a lower end with at least one inlet opening formed therein and an upper end with an edge. A one-piece base plate is welded to the edge, covers the flow channel at the top and has coolant inlets formed therein for a flow of coolant through the fuel assembly.

    摘要: A fuel element for a nuclear reactor has fuel rods with nuclear fuel guided through spacers. The spacers are equipped with devices that exert a swirling impulse upon a coolant flowing along the fuel rods. In order to present as little flow resistance as possible for the coolant, these swirl-introducing devices have the form of a vane with a spoonlike or bladelike shape and they extend into the coolant flow. Owing to the shape—here the vane is curved in the longitudinal and in the transverse directions—practically all cross sections of the vane have such a high geometrical moment of inertia that even a vane made of a thin sheet metal is sufficiently rigid. Fuel elements configured according to the invention are particularly suitable for use in boiling water nuclear reactors.

    摘要: A hydraulic control rod drive for a nuclear reactor, with a a reactor plenum enclosing the drive, comprises first and second hollow bodies together forming a cylinder and a hollow piston. Working fluid is supplied through one of the hollow bodies. The first hollow body is stationary and the second hollow body is disposed coaxially around the first hollow body. The two hollow bodies define an annular gap therebetween so as to allow axial reciprocating movement of the second hollow body, which forms a carrier body for control elements of the control rod. The second hollow body can be lifted, lowered or suspended by feeding working fluid. A portion of the fluid is removed from the inner space via a throttle passage. A positional measurement system determines the relative displacement of the second hollow body by measuring an ultrasonic measurement path. The system includes an ultrasound reflector and an ultrasonic transducer rigidly mounted remote from the ultrasound reflector. Provisions are made for venting the inner space through venting channels which open into the reactor plenum at a security distance from the measurement path so as not to adversely affect the ultrasonic measurement.
