Das Hauptpatent schützt einen rohrförmigen Behälter für Kernbrennstoff, der zusammen mit dem Behälter ein in die Brennstoffkanäle eines Reaktorcores einsetzbares Brennstoffelement bildet und .an dessen äußerer Oberfläche in Richtung der Behälterachse sich erstreckende Längsrippen und zusätzlich gewendelte Rippen vorgesehen sind, wobei die Längsrippen in radialer Richtung gesehen über die gewendelten Rippen hinausragen.The main patent protects a tubular container for nuclear fuel, which together with the Container forms a fuel element that can be inserted into the fuel channels of a reactor core and .an its outer surface in the direction of the container axis extending longitudinal ribs and additionally Coiled ribs are provided, the longitudinal ribs seen in the radial direction over the coiled ones Ribs protrude.
Hierdurch werden die Nachteile, die bekannten ao Verrippungen an Brennstoffelementen anhaften, insbesondere bezüglich eines großen Druckabfalles des die Verrippung bestreichenden Kühlmittels sowie der ungleichmäßigen Erwärmung desselben und einer ungleichmäßigen Strömungsgeschwindigkeit, vermieden und eine weitere Verbesserung des Wärmeüberganges und des Umlaufes des_ Kühlmittels erreicht. This eliminates the disadvantages, the known ao Adhere to ribs on fuel elements, especially with regard to a large pressure drop of the the ribbing coating coolant as well as the uneven heating of the same and an uneven Flow velocity, avoided and a further improvement of the heat transfer and the circulation of the coolant achieved.
Die im Hauptpatent" und in der vorliegenden Zusatzanmeldung behandelten Behälter für Kernbrennstoffe werden in Kanälen angeordnet, die in Neutronen moderierendem Material des Kernreaktors eingeformt sind. Über die mit Rippen versehene Oberfläche der Behälter wird in einem Zwischenraum zwischen dem Behälter und den Wänden des moderierenden Materials ein Kühlmittel in Umlauf gehalten.The ones in the main patent "and in the present Additional application-treated containers for nuclear fuel are placed in channels leading into Neutron moderating material of the nuclear reactor are molded. About the ribbed The surface of the container is in a space between the container and the walls of the moderating material kept a coolant in circulation.
Wenn solche Brennstoffbehälter Belastungen ausgesetzt werden, indem man sie beispielsweise in den Brennstoffkanälen eines Reaktorcores übereinanderstapelt, so neigen sie dazu, unter den im Reaktorcore auftretenden Temperaturen und Strahlungseinwirkungen sich-zu-verbiegen-oder einzuknicken.If such fuel containers are exposed to loads, for example by being placed in the Fuel channels of a reactor core are stacked on top of one another, so they tend to be below the ones in the reactor core occurring temperatures and radiation effects bend-to-bend or buckle.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt, daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein solches Biegen oder Knicken der Brennstoffelemente unter den im Inneren des Reaktorcores herrschenden Betriebsbedingungen mit Sicherheit zu verhindern.The present invention is therefore based on the object of such a bending or buckling of the Fuel elements under the operating conditions prevailing inside the reactor core Prevent security.
Demnach betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung einen rohrförmigen Behälter für Kernbrennstoff, der zusammen mit dem Behälter ein in die Brennstoffkanäle eines Reaktorcores einsetzbares Brennstoffelement bildet und an dessen äußerer Oberfläche in Richtung der Behälterachse sich erstreckende Längsrippen und zusätzlich gewendelte Rippen vorgesehen sind, wobei die Längsrippen in radialer Richtung gesehen über die gewendelten Rippen hinausragen, nach Patent 1200 449. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Spiel zwischen den radial äußeren Kanten der Längsrippen und der Wandung der Brennstoffkanäle zum Zeitpunkt des Einsetzens der Brennstoffelemente so bemessen, daß es durch die bei Betriebstemperatur auftretende radiale Ausdehnung der Längsrippen verschwindet, Hierdurch kommen die Längsrippen im Betrieb zur Anlage an den Wandungen der Brennstoffkanäle und verhindern so ein Verbiegen oder Knicken der Behälter.Accordingly, the present invention relates to a tubular container for nuclear fuel, which together forms with the container a fuel element that can be inserted into the fuel channels of a reactor core and on its outer surface in Longitudinal ribs extending in the direction of the container axis and additionally coiled ribs are provided are, with the longitudinal ribs protruding beyond the coiled ribs seen in the radial direction, according to patent 1200 449. According to the invention, the play between the radially outer edges of the longitudinal ribs and the wall of the fuel channels at the time the fuel elements are inserted dimensioned so that it disappears due to the radial expansion of the longitudinal ribs occurring at operating temperature, As a result, the longitudinal ribs come to rest on the walls of the fuel channels during operation and thus prevent the container from bending or kinking.
Die Erfindung ist im folgenden an Hand eines Beispieles unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es stellt darThe invention is described below on the basis of an example with reference to the drawing explained in more detail. It shows
F i g. 1 ein typisches in einen Brennstoffkanal eines Kernreaktors eingesetztes Brennstoffelement nach der Erfindung im Vertikalschnitt,F i g. 1 a typical one in a fuel channel Nuclear reactor used fuel element according to the invention in vertical section,
Fig. 2 einen Horizontalschnitt durch den Gegenstand der Fig. 1 längs der SohnitÜime'A-A. Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section through the object of Fig. 1 along the SohnitÜime'AA.
In F i g. 1 ist ein Rohrelement gezeigt, das aus einem zylindrischen Behälter 1 f ür den Kernbrennstoff besteht, dessen Oberfläche mit Rippen versehen ist. Die Rippen 2 sind schraubenförmig um die Mittelachse des Behälters gewendelt. Eine Anzahl von durchgehenden oder unterteilten Längsrippen 3 sind mit dem Behälter verbunden und radial in gleichem Abstand rund um den Umfang des Behälters herum angeordnet.In Fig. 1 shows a tubular element which consists of a cylindrical container 1 for the nuclear fuel consists, the surface of which is provided with ribs. The ribs 2 are helical around the central axis of the container coiled. A number of continuous or divided longitudinal ribs 3 are connected to the container and equidistant radially around the circumference of the container arranged.
Diese Längsrippen 3 wirken als Staubleche in den zwischen den gewendelten Rippen 2 geformten Kanälen und unterbrechen die Strömung des Kühlmittels zwischen den Rippen an diesen Stellen.These longitudinal ribs 3 act as baffles in those formed between the coiled ribs 2 Channels and interrupt the flow of coolant between the ribs at these points.
Die Brennstoffelemente sind normalerweise in Brennstoffkanäle eingesetzt, die im moderierenden Material des Reaktors vorgesehen sind, und sie haben einen geringeren Durchmesser als die Kanäle, um den Durchtritt des Kühlmittels zu erlauben.The fuel elements are normally used in fuel channels that are used in moderating Material of the reactor are provided, and they have a smaller diameter than the channels to allow the coolant to pass through.
Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffelement ist so dimensioniert, daß zum Zeitpunkt des Einsetzens in einen Brennstoffkanal im ivlöderator ein Spiel von etwa 1,5 bis 3,5 mm zwischen den Kanten der Längsrippen 3 und der Wandung 4 des Brennstoffkanals vorhanden ist. Dieses Spiel verschwindet, wenn der Reaktor in Betrieb ist und die Temperatur steigt, mit dem Resultat, daß die Staubleche die Wände des Brennstoffkanals berühren. »The fuel element according to the invention is dimensioned so that at the time of insertion in a fuel channel in the ivlöderator a game of about 1.5 to 3.5 mm between the edges of the longitudinal ribs 3 and the wall 4 of the fuel channel is available. This play disappears when the reactor is in operation and the temperature rises with the result that the baffles touch the walls of the fuel channel. »
Die Längsrippen 3 erstrecken sich über die'ganze Länge des Brennstoffelementes 1 und radial über die Außenkante der gewendelten Rippen 2 hinaus, und zwar so weit, daß sie, wenn sie sich während des Betriebes im Reaktor befinden, die Wandung 4 des Brennstoffkanals berühren.The longitudinal ribs 3 extend over the entire length of the fuel element 1 and radially over the Outer edge of the coiled ribs 2 out, and so far that, if they are during the Operation are in the reactor, touch the wall 4 of the fuel channel.
Die Längsrippen 3 sind genügend stark ausgeführt, um jeder Biegungs- oder Knickneigung des Behälters entgegenzuwirken. ':.The longitudinal ribs 3 are made strong enough to withstand any tendency to bend or kink the container to counteract. ':.
Die Strömung des Kühlmittels ist dieselbe, wie im Hauptpatent beschrieben; sie wird durch die Anordnung nach der Erfindung nicht beeinflußt.The flow of the coolant is the same as described in the main patent; it is made by the arrangement according to the invention not affected.
