摘要： In a boiling water reactor fuel bundle, a three dimensional debris catching grid construction is placed within the flow volume defined by the lower tie plate assembly between the inlet nozzle and upper fuel rod supporting grid. A perforated plate is utilized having round holes as small consistent with the prevention of inadvertent closure due crudding and a hole pitch consistent with mechanical integrity requirements. The perforated plate is placed in a three dimensional construction such as a dome, cylinder, pyramid, inverted pyramid or corrugated construction spanning the flow volume of the lower tie plate assembly. As a consequence of this three dimensional grid construction, the total flow through area of the perforations in the metal plate does not introduce appreciable pressure drop in the lower tie plate assembly between the inlet nozzle and the rod supporting grid. Fluid movement at the debris restraining holes of the grid construction has a low flow velocity and a change in flow direction before passing through the holes to discourage debris from finding its way through the grid holes. Finally, it is possible to incorporate debris traps within the flow volume of the lower tie plate assembly that can cause trapping and subsequent removal of trapped debris upon fuel bundle replacement. A double corrugated plate having large holes in the lower plate and smaller holes in the upper plate is utilized to trap debris.

摘要： In combination with a boiling water nuclear reactor core undergoing a reload, an improved core reload and process of reloading is disclosed. The core reload consists of fuel bundles having differing design margins to critical power and linear heat generation rate. Specifically, a first part of the core reload is selected from fuel bundles having relatively high critical power margin and relatively lower linear heat generation margin. A second part of the core reload is selected from fuel bundles having relatively high linear heat generation margin and relatively low critical power margin. Distribution of the reload fuel bundles throughout the reactor core occurs as a function of critical power margin and linear heat generation rate margin. Specifically, fuel bundles having the high critical power margin are placed in selected intervals to the central portion of the cylindrical core. Fuel bundles having high linear heat generation margin are placed in the peripheral region of the core. Preferably and on a diameter basis, the middle third of the core is interspersed with fuel bundle loading including the high critical power margin fuel bundles. The outer third of the core is interspersed with fuel bundle loading including the high linear heat generation rate margin. There results an overall core loading having overall power exceeding that power attainable by the prior art practice of utilizing one margin design uniformly distributed throughout the core.

摘要： In a boiling water reactor (BWR) of the D-lattice type an improved apparatus and method for the mounting of a nuclear fuel assembly is disclosed. Specifically, a D-lattice nuclear fuel assembly is diagonally displaced at the top and diagonally displaced at the bottom to and toward the cruciform shaped control rod interstices. Displacement at the bottom end of the nuclear fuel assembly occurs by an eccentrically centered lower tie plate and fluid inlet for fitting to the core plate at the bottom end of the assembly. Displacement at the top end of the nuclear fuel assembly occurs by shims in the vicinity of the upper end of the channel at the top guides. The disclosed channel assembly is capable of installation during refueling cycles, with a displaced channel being substituted for prior art conventional D-lattice channels. Substitution of one displaced channel occurs with each refueling cycle in a group of four channels. Consequently, there results at the end a maximum of four refueling cycles, complete installation of the displaced channels. As substitution occurs, there results an improved worth of each fuel channel assembly enabling an eventual aggregate 2% increase in life with resultant savings.

摘要： In a fuel bundle for use in the core of a boiling water nuclear reactor, part length rods having a tendency to reduce pressure drop are used in combination with spacers and spacer attached devices tending to restore pressure drop to improve critical power. The addition of the part length rods has the advantage of lowering the pressure drop. Attached devices substantially recapture the pressure drop. Exemplary spacer attached mechanisms for the recapture of pressure drop are set forth including vanes--preferably swirl vanes on the spacers, decreasing the spacer pitch to increase the total number of spacers in the upper two phase region of the fuel bundle, increasing the vertical height of the spacers, and increasing the thickness of the metal from which the spacers are constructed. Two classes of separation devices are disclosed for placement in the volume overlying the end of the partial length fuel rods. A first type of device fits to the end of the part length rods and is primarily intended for preventing water passing along the surface of the part length rod adjacent the end of the part length rod from entering the volume overlying the part length fuel rod. A second type of device resides in the volume overlying the part length rod. In either case, critical power is improved.
