Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of reactor engineering, and in particular relates to a fuel assembly, its lower pipe seat and the bottom device of the fuel assembly. Background technique
[0002] Usually, nuclear fuel is designed as a solid cylinder, consisting of upper and lower end plugs, pellets, compression springs and cladding. Coolant flows through the cladding to cool the fuel rods. The annular fuel is clad with two layers of inner and outer layers, and the coolant can simultaneously take away the heat emitted by the fuel from both the inner and outer sides.
[0003] The bottom device of the fuel assembly is located at the bottom of the fuel assembly, including the lower pipe seat and the anti-foreign object assembly. The lower pipe seat is provided with coolant flow holes for the circulation of cooling water and the flow distribution of the coolant. The anti-foreign object assembly can To intercept foreign matter that may be conta...
