FUEL ELEMENT FOR WATER-MODERATED POWER REACTORS

FIELD: nuclear power engineering. SUBSTANCE: fuel element has porosity of 15-45% of volume to compensate for swelling of fuel particles. Fuel element can accommodates fuel core built up of fissionable phase (grains or granules of known compounds U-Zn-Nb, U-Mo, U3Si) bonded together and to can by mea...

Summary:FIELD: nuclear power engineering. SUBSTANCE: fuel element has porosity of 15-45% of volume to compensate for swelling of fuel particles. Fuel element can accommodates fuel core built up of fissionable phase (grains or granules of known compounds U-Zn-Nb, U-Mo, U3Si) bonded together and to can by means of zirconium base impregnating alloy. Fuel particles are joined together and to can by means of meniscus bridges made of zirconium base alloy and formed upon melting of zirconium base impregnating alloy. EFFECT: improved design. 5 cl, 5 dwgs
