    摘要: A support grid for a nuclear fuel assembly, the fuel rod assembly having a generally cylindrical fuel rod with a diameter, wherein the support grid includes a frame assembly having a plurality of outer straps and a plurality tubular members and/or helical frame members. The tubular members/helical frame members have a contact portion structured to contact an adjacent helical frame member and at least one helical fuel rod contact portion with a lesser diameter. The lesser diameter is generally equivalent to the fuel rod diameter such that a fuel rod disposed in the helical frame member would engage the inner helical frame member at helical fuel rod contact portion. The helical fuel rod contact portion may have a variable pitch.

    摘要: A spacer for retaining and positioning elongated elements at one or a plurality of levels in a nuclear reactor fuel assembly comprises a grid structure of joined-together sleeve cells. A coolant is adapted to flow upwards through the fuel assembly. The majority of the sleeve cells are provided with an upstream edge with a waveform. The edge is waveformed in such a way that the upwardly flowing coolant first encounters a peak of the wave which is disposed between the joints of the sleeves and thereafter a valley of the wave which is disposed at the joints of the sleeves. The peaks are arranged closer to a center of the sleeve cell than the valleys. Between the peaks and valleys, oblique edges are formed.

    摘要: The ferrule spacer includes a ferrule having an elongated slot with a pair of tabs projecting laterally into the slot. An elongated spring has opposite ends bearing against the interior wall of the ferrule and flats overlying the tabs along the outside of the ferrule. The mid-span portion of the spring projects in a central aperture between the ferrule tabs for biased bearing engagement against the fuel rod. The fuel rod is maintained against oppositely disposed stops formed on the ferrule. The spring is inserted and removed from the inside of the ferrule.

    摘要: A spacer sleeve for positioning and restraining a nuclear fuel rod in a nuclear fuel assembly, having a thin walled tubular member having an inner wall and an outer end, and extending a height from a lower end to an upper end and being positioned around the fuel rod to form an unrestricted coolant flow passage along the height of the tubular member, the flow passage having a cross-sectional flow area formed between the fuel rod cladding and the inner wall of the tubular member, and a thin tab extending from the tubular member into the unrestricted flow area and secured to a portion of the cladding of the fuel rod.

    摘要: An improved spacer is disclosed which contains an Inconel grid and a Zircaloy surrounding band. The Inconel grid can be fabricated from the extremely thin and highly elastic spring metal utilizing a modification of a prior art cell construction that includes paired inwardly bent vertical spring legs with cantilevered and rod encircling upper and lower arm pairs The spring legs extend at spaced apart locations between the upper and lower arm pairs and have a medial spring rod contacting portion for biasing the rods into stops on the rod encircling arm pairs. The springs at the upper and lower ends are provided with spring dimple stops to prevent over stressing of the spring during assembly or handling of the fuel bundle into which the spacer is incorporated. The rod encircling arm pairs have an offset from center where the two arms meet at their distal ends to complete encirclement of the rods. This offset from center enables the cells to be fastened in cell pairs at their respective embracing arms. The cell pairs can in turn be manipulated as a unit to define the necessary types of spacer grids required for any particular grid construction. A preferred grid construction for a ten by ten fuel rod matrix is disclosed including a grid filling all rod lattice positions for the bottom of a fuel bundle, a grid enabling the placement of a water rod of varying diameter, and finally a grid defining missing lattice positions for overlying partial length rods and permitting upward venting of steam with minimum pressure drop. An all Zircaloy band is disclosed for surrounding containment of the Inconel grid. The band consists of two or four segments Apertures are provided in the band at the corners, and portions of the corner Inconel cells project into these apertures, keying the Inconel grid to the Zircaloy band. The band is welded into continuous encircling relation. There results a spacer with an Inconel grid and surrounding Zircaloy band having minimum pressure drop and minimum neutron absorption useful with a high density fuel rod matrix required in modern fuel bundle design.

    摘要: A fuel assembly comprising a plurality of spaced, parallel, and sheathed fuel bearing elements supported at a plurality of longitudinal locations within openings in laterally extending grid structures. Each opening in each grid structure receives a fuel element which is supported by a torsion spring having a cantilever loading arm which contacts the fuel element proximate a maximum flow area of the grid opening and by one oor more nonresilient dimples in opposition to the spring. In one embodiment of a honeycomb grid lattice, the lattice is formed by preferably brazing reduced sections of preformed half-honeycombs to achieve the desired fuel element spacing.

    摘要: A fuel assembly in which the fuel rods are arranged in a hexagonal or square, regular pattern, but in which single rods are omitted systematically and deflectors substituted therefor, each deflector normally being situated in a duct, the partition of which consists of six or eight fuel rods, respectively. The deflectors are rigidly connected to grids between the fuel rods so that the rods may expand freely in the grids.
