Abstract

918,677. Reactors. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Feb. 26, 1960 [Feb. 27, 1959], No. 6939/59. Class 39 (4). [Also in Group XXV] A nuclear reactor fuel element support 1 of cast iron is locked in the channel 4 of the graphite moderator 5 by the steel rollers 9 located in the recesses 19. In the charged position the rollers are held in the recesses 12 by the sleeve 13. Escape of cooling gas from the sleeve 3 into the gap between 3 and 4 is prevented by the seal rings 20. The fuel elements and support members are inserted into the channel by pressing the rod 18 upwards until the sleeve 13 is clear of the rollers 9 which move inwardly and allow the insertion of the support 1 into tube 8. The assembly is raised until 9 and 12 are aligned, when 18 is pulled down and 13 locks the rollers in the recess 12. Specification 918,678 is referred to.
