摘要

DEVICE TO ACCEPT AXIAL FORCES OCCURRING ON FUEL ASSEMBLIES DURING THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR REACTORS The invention pertains to a device for accepting axial forces generated during the operation of a nuclear reactor by the flow of the cooling medium and the thermal expansion of the fuel assemblies consisting of rod-shaped fuel rods while the fuel assemblies are resting on a lower grid plate and at the upper end are elastically supported against an upper grid plate.
