Abstract

898,849. Fuel elements. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Aug. 19, 1960 [Aug. 19, 1959], No. 28383/59. Class 39(4). In the fuel element 1, the fissile material is contained in the helical, magnesium alloy can 3. The latter is provided with fins 7 and is supported in the graphite sleeve 2 by the beam 4. The fuel is formed of rod section which lie one behind the other in the can 3 and are separated by ceramic spacers. Specification 791,011 is referred to.
