Abstract

768,078. Nuclear reactors. ATOMIC ENERGY OF CANADA, Ltd. March 25, 1955 [March 31, 1954], No. 8752/55. Class 39(4). A fuel rod assembly for a heavy water cooled nuclear reactor comprises a tube 10 of circular cross-section, a plurality of thin strips of fuel, each enveloped in a tightly fitting thin pliable sheath 16, the sheathed strips being arranged in the tube in spaced parallel face-to-face relationship and each sheathed strip being in contact with the tube along both longitudinal edges, whereby passageways are formed along each face of each strip for the circulation of heavy water, and means for restraining longitudinal bending of said strips. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 the tube 10 is formed with a number of longitudinally extending projections 22, a pair of such projections embracing the two longitudinal edges of each strip. In Fig. 2 the sheaths of the outer strips are provided with pins 23, 24 at their inner corners ; in a modification of this arrangement, Fig. 3 (not shown), the pins are located nearer the centres of the sheaths. The tube 10 and the sheaths are preferably of aluminium but may be of zirconium or a zirconium tin alloy or of stainless steel ; the fuel may be uranium.
