    摘要: A fast neutron nuclear reactor contains a nuclear reactor core having an array of device locations. Some device locations in the nuclear reactor core contain fissile and fertile nuclear fuel assembly devices. One or more other device locations in the nuclear reactor core contain Doppler reactivity augmentation devices that amplify the negativity of the Doppler reactivity coefficient within the nuclear reactor core. In some implementations, a Doppler reactivity augmentation device can also reduce the coolant temperature coefficient within the nuclear reactor core. Accordingly, a Doppler reactivity augmentation device contributes to a more stable nuclear reactor core.

    摘要: A method for preparing a built-in part for disposal including the steps of mounting a supporting element such that it can be displaced in an axially elastic manner by a spring on a head of the built-in part and being used for support on the grid plate of the head frame of a fuel element. The supporting element is fixed in a pushed-back position against the action of the spring, enabling a common disposal of the built-in part with the fuel element.
