<p>1,061,878. Cooling reactors. ATOMIC ENERGY OF CANADA Ltd. Aug. 5, 1965 [Aug. 31, 1964], No. 33626/65. Heading G6C. In a nuclear reactor employing a mixture of steam and water as a coolant, turbulence is induced in the coolant to maintain efficient heat transfer between the fuel and coolant. The fuel, in rod form, is mounted vertically in pressure tubes down which the coolant is pumped under pressure. Circumferential rings are attached to the smooth inner surface of the pressure tubes. The rings deflect fluid from the pressure tube surface inwardly towards the fuel rods. The rings may have any cross-section but are spaced apart so as not to produce neutron absorption.</p> |
