Description

Single metal positioning grid frame for reducing damage and pressure loss of fuel rod position
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies of nuclear power stations, and particularly relates to a single-metal positioning grid for reducing damage and pressure loss of a fuel rod position.
Background
The nuclear power fuel assembly spacer grids are currently distinguished from bimetallic grids (such as french AFA series assemblies) and monometallic grids (such as westinghouse AP1000 fuel assemblies) in terms of material type. The bimetallic grid takes zirconium alloy as strips and nickel-based alloy as a spring material. The nickel-based alloy has the advantage of high strength, but has the disadvantage of large neutron absorption cross section, which is not favorable for the neutron economy of the fuel assembly. The adoption of the single metal grid is beneficial to the neutron economy of the reactor core and is one of the development directions of the grid. The west room AP1000 assembly grid spring is formed by stamping from the wall surface of the grid element strip, the spring structure is similar to that of an inclined rigid convex, the application of a single metal spring is solved, and the disadvantage is that the fuel rod still meets the edge of the rigid convex in the rod pulling process, and the protection of the rod surface in the rod pulling process is not facilitated. In addition, the resulting spring has a relatively high stiffness, a relatively short spring compression stroke, and a relatively sensitive influence of manufacturing tolerances.
