FUEL STORAGE RACK

摘要

A storage rack for nuclear fuel assemblies is located in the pool and formed of grids, each grid formed of fixedly connected cross members. Four separate grids are used with each of the four grids horizontally restrained by adjacent walls in a manner which restrains forces perpendicular to each wall but permits sliding in response to forces parallel to each wall. Each of the grids are supported at locations between the grids, by members which slidably support the grids. The support members are further slidably supported on a central column.
