    摘要: The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear reactor materials design, and discloses a method for improving the withstanding capability of the cladding material in the fast neutron irradiation environment, comprising the following steps: selecting the cladding material with the annular structure and placing it on the outer side of the metallic fuel slug, with leaving a 0.2-0.8 mm gap between the metallic fuel slug and the cladding material; processing the operation in a reactor subsequently, with an annealing process of the fast neutron reactor fuel during the operation of the reactor; improves the withstanding capability of the cladding material in the fast neutron irradiation environment. The invention processes annealing treatment of the cladding material by balancing the internal and external stresses, multiple cycles of steady-state and transient operations, enhancing the withstanding capability of the steel in the high neutron irradiation environment, improving the lifetime of the cladding material.

    摘要: A method for installing a locking retainer in a tube to maintain internal components within the tube under compression comprising the steps of: a) providing an elongated retainer spring having large and small diameter sections with the large diameter section of a size for an interference fit with the interior diameter of the tube and the smaller diameter section of a size having a clearance with the interior diameter of the tube; b) inserting a smaller diameter section of an elongated tool into the larger diameter section of the elongated retainer spring; c) engaging a transition between the smaller and larger diameter sections of the tool against a transition between the larger and smaller diameter sections of the elongated retainer spring; d) inserting the combined tool and retainer spring into an open end of the tube containing internal components with an end of the smaller diameter section of the retainer spring entering the tube first; e) advancing the combined tool and retainer spring within the tube to compress the smaller diameter spring against an adjacent internal component until an end of the tool engages the adjacent internal component enabling the spring to apply a selected axial preload on the internal components in the tube; and f) withdrawing the tool from the retainer spring.

The cladding tube includes inner and outer circumferential regions, and including (1) a substrate defining the outer circumferential region, and (2) an inner liner defining the inner circumferential region. The inner liner is made from a zirconium alloy having at least one alloying element which promotes hydrogen absorption in a concentration of between about 1 and 15 weight percent. The hydrogen absorption promoting element can be one of the following: nickel, chromium, iron, zinc, vanadium, gallium, yttrium, palladium, platinum, or aluminum.

    摘要: A barrier tube of non-circular cross section is arranged in the space between the stainless steel cladding and metal fuel slugs of a liquid metal reactor. The non-circular shape of this barrier design promotes improved thermal bonding in both the cladding/barrier and barrier/fuel interface regions. The non-circular barrier results in three areas with liquid metal thermal bond gaps having an angle which approaches that for a metal fuel pin without a barrier. Thus, the degree of circumferential unbonding will be less than that which results in localized fuel melting during radiation.
