    摘要: This describes a spacer for resiliently retaining the elongated fuel rods of a nuclear reactor in spaced relation. The spacer comprises a peripheral support band and dividers therein forming an "egg-crate" configuration of fuel rod passage from a corner thereof. The spacer is designed to minimize the contact area of the fuel rod with the spacer, to minimize distortion and restriction of coolant flow and to minimize the amount of spacer and retainer spring material. One embodiment is especially designed for fabrication from low neutron absorption material, such as Zirconium alloys and for the automated production thereof.

    摘要: In a nuclear reactor fuel assembly comprising a bundle of rods of fissile or fertile material placed within a casing and supported by two rigid end grids, the rods are maintained at different points between the two end support grids by a spacer grid constituted in accordance with the invention by a frame which surrounds the rods inside the casing and supports at least one layer of parallel helical springs, the turns of said springs being tangent to the rods. Preferably, the layers of springs are four in number, the successive layers being disposed alternately in two directions at right angles to each other whilst the helices of layers having the same direction are relatively displaced by one-half pitch.

    摘要: A tube bundle assembly, for example, a heat exchanger tube bundle or a nuclear fuel element tube bundle, comprises a bundle of laterally spaced tubes, a frame around the outermost tubes, and a lattice of wire cables with their ends held against lateral displacement by the frame and the tubes in the lattice interstices. The cables are deflected round a portion of each tube to space the tubes from one another, and the cables are preferably tensioned against the frame for this purpose.

    摘要: An improved nuclear fuel rod spacer system and support structure is disclosed which includes a cage assembly for receiving a fuel rod in tight bearing engagement therewith. A cage assembly with a fuel rod extending therethrough is constructed to fit within a cell defined by a conventional grid structure and to lockingly engage a specially constructed and cooperating locking structure projecting inwardly of the cell.

    摘要: A grid for supporting and spacing nuclear fuel rods, particularly at the nodes of a triangular array, has a peripheral frame of regular polygonal, typically hexagonal, shape and at least two beds of wires spaced in the longitudinal direction of the fuel assembly. Each bed has at least two series of mutually parallel wires secured to said frame at the end thereof, the wires of a same one of said series being parallel to two opposed side of said frame and all said wires defining passages for said fuel elements.
