Definitions

  • longitudinal part "flooded” here must be understood as a part not laterally more apparent from the outside, namely covered by cast lead.
  • at least one longitudinal portion of said metal frame is covered laterally around its entire circumference, that is to say on an angular range of 360 ° around the longitudinal direction.
  • said radiological protection device it is possible to produce said radiological protection device so that it consists of a single radiological protection structure forming a ferrule in one piece around said cavity, preferably between the two concentric rings above.
  • the radiological protection device is no longer segmented into several structures each extending in a given angular sector and all positioned adjacent to each other in the tangential / circumferential direction, but takes the form a ring-shaped one-piece block surrounding the housing cavity.
  • radiological protection structures 26 each of them preferably extending substantially over the entire length of the package, or at least all along the so-called active zone defined by the fuel assemblies .
  • this central element 50 forming diagonal is not mandatory, as shown by the alternative embodiment shown on the figure 5 , in which only the parallelogram constitutes the armature 30.
  • any other shape than the parallelogram could be used, of open or closed cross section, without departing from the scope of the invention, and as is also shown on the Figures 5a and 5b respectively showing a substantially circular-shaped cross-section reinforcement 30 and a substantially U-shaped cross section reinforcement 30, each embedded in a lead block 32.
  • the outer shell of the lateral body 14 is disposed around the structures 26 housed in the profiles 60, with preferably an earlier step consisting of joining together circumferentially adjacent profiles, for example by welding on any their length, which preferably corresponds substantially to the length of the block 32 and the armature 30.
  • the longitudinal welding is preferably carried out between the radially outer side of a profile 60, and the radial element of junction belonging to profile 60 directly consecutive.
