Abstract

1,170,197. Fuel elements. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. 13 Sept., 1968 [29 Sept., 1967], No. 43644/68. Heading G6C. In a fast nuclear reactor fuel pin or irradiation capsule, the can 5, is provided with a plug 7, which closes the can during loading. During irradiation, the temperature rises, the solder 15 melts, and the valve is lifted by the spring 9. Volatile fission products escape from the pin into a receiver. The porous pellet 11 of sintered metal, prevents loss of fuel dust into the ambient medium.
