    摘要: A flow limiter may include a head and a fin extending from a bottom of the head. The head may include a side surface having at least one first hole and the side surface may be symmetric about a first axis. The fin may include at least one second hole and the at least one second hole may have an axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The flow limiter may be inserted into a support casting that may interface with a nuclear fuel bundle to reduce the flow of water to the nuclear fuel bundle thereby reducing a moisture carry over (MCO) level at an exit of a fuel bundle of a nuclear reactor.

    摘要: Example embodiments are directed to tiered tie plates and fuel bundles that use tiered tie plates. Example embodiment tie plates may include upper and lower tiered tie plates. Example embodiment tiered tie plates may have a plurality of bosses divided into groups, or tiers, having differing vertical (axial) displacement. Example embodiment fuel bundles may use tiered tie plates such that fuel rods in example bundles may originate and terminate at different vertical displacements, based upon the vertical displacement of the bosses receiving the fuel rods into the tiered tie plates. Optionally, shanks may be used to further vary fuel rod axial displacement and diameter.

    摘要: The present invention provides a bottom nozzle filtering device and a debris-preventive bottom nozzle that can be used for a light water reactor (LWR) nuclear fuel assembly. The bottom nozzle filtering device includes a plurality of successively spliced unit plates; a through flow channel is formed between the spliced adjacent unit plates; the flow channel includes a plurality of spaced straight-section flow inlets and straight-section flow outlets, and a flow subchannel communicating; the outlet section of each straight-section flow inlet in the middle splits respectively into two flow subchannels, and the inlet section of each straight-section flow outlet in the middle communicates respectively with the two flow subchannels. The flow direction of the coolant is controlled by the straight-section flow inlet, the straight-section flow outlet, the flow subchannel to prevent unnecessary eddies forming, making the pressure loss effectively controlled and improving the filtering effect.

    摘要: A fuel bundle flow limiter according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of base sections, wherein each of the plurality of base sections has at least one opening. A plurality of channels may separate the plurality of base sections. A plurality of vertical webs may extend from the plurality of base sections. A locking tab may be disposed in at least one of the plurality of vertical webs. By using the flow limiter, the moisture carry over (MCO) level at the exit of the fuel bundle may be decreased, thereby reducing radiation exposure to plant operators and reducing damage to reactor equipment.
