Abstract:
The present invention provides a gray rod control assembly (GRCA) containing an improved neutron absorber comprised of a porous matrix of refractory metal infused with a neutron absorbing metal or metal alloy for a nuclear reactor The reactor has a plurality of fuel assemblies, including numerous elongated fuel rods supported in an organized array by substantially transverse gπds, and a plurality of guide thimbles disposed through the support grids and along the fuel rods The ORCA includes a spider assembly structured to control insertion of gray rod assemblies within the thimbles of the fuel assembly, thereby controlling the rate of power produced by the reactor Delta-power of the reactor is improved by the relatively small percentage of neutron absorbing metal infused in the porous matrix of the refractory metal of the neutron absorber and by distributing the neutron absorber in segments among a plurality of rods of the GRCA

Abstract:
The invention refers to a fuel assembly comprising a lower end structure, an upper end structure including a top nozzle (5), a plurality of fuel rods and a plurality of guide thimbles (3). The top nozzle includes a passageway and an annular groove (10) in said passageway. A sleeve (1 1 ) is provided for attaching the guide thimble (3) to the top nozzle (5). The sleeve has at least three slots (12) and includes at least three bulges (13). Each bulge (13) has two ends and extends between two of the slots (12). At least one of the ends of the bulge (13) extends to a position at a distance (d) from the respective slot (12). The invention also refers to a guide thimble device (9) for use in a fuel assembly.
Abstract:
Reactor component adapted to be used in fission reactors comprising a core (2) consisting of a first material and a layer (3) consisting of a second material. The layer (3) encloses at least partly the core (2). The reactor component is characterized in that the component (1) comprises and intermediate layer (4) between the core (2) and the layer (3). The intermediate layer (4) has a material gradient that comprises a decrease of the concentration of the first material from the core (2) to the layer (3) and an increase of the concentration of the second material from the core (2) to the layer (3).
