Elliptical metal fuel/cladding barrier and related method for improving heat transfer |
摘要 |
A barrier tube of non-circular cross section is arranged in the space between the stainless steel cladding and metal fuel slugs of a liquid metal reactor. The non-circular shape of this barrier design promotes improved thermal bonding in both the cladding/barrier and barrier/fuel interface regions. The non-circular barrier results in three areas with liquid metal thermal bond gaps having an angle which approaches that for a metal fuel pin without a barrier. Thus, the degree of circumferential unbonding will be less than that which results in localized fuel melting during radiation.
