Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce members to be used and positions to be welded and simplify the assembling work by expanding a thimble lower end section inserted through the small-diameter section of a thimble fitting hole with a taper recess, then screwing and fastening a thimble screw to a large-diameter section. CONSTITUTION:A control rod guide thimble 1 and the lowest support lattice 3 are fixed with a sleeve 2, and the length of the thimble 1 is adjusted by the out-margin of a thimble lower end section 1a. The lower end section 1a is expanded along a taper recess 6c from the lower side of a lower nozzle 4, a thimble screw 5 is screwed and fastened to a screw provided at the large- diameter section 6b of a thimble fitting hole, and it is spot-welded at two positions to stop rotation. The thimble lower end section 1a is pinched by the taper recess 6c and the tapered bearing surface 5a of the screw 5 and an insertion section 5c is inserted, thus the thimble 1 is fixed to the nozzle 4 with sufficient strength. The dispersion adjustment of the whole length of the thimble 1 is not required, adjustment can be performed simply and correctly, the nozzle 4 is invariably fitted into close contact with a fuel rod, and the assembling work is simplified.

■ Since the lower end plug is welded to the lower end of the control rod guide simple, it is not possible to insert the swage rod from the lower side of the control rod guide simple during the swaging work to fix the lowest support grid mentioned above. Work will be done from the top side of the simple above, but the swage rod is long with a total length of about 4.5 m, which prevents accurate swaging, which tends to cause unevenness in the bulge of the swage part, and when inserting the swage rod. When removed, there is a risk of scratching the entire length of the inside of the simplex.

■The overall length of simple control rod guides varies depending on the individual rod due to variations in shrinkage during manufacturing or swaging operations, so the bushing for length adjustment is required during assembly. Furthermore, in order to prevent rotation of this bushing, after simple length adjustment, spot welding is performed at two locations on the lower nozzle and the upper surface of the lower nozzle, but this welding may cause distortion in the lower nozzle. Also,
Depending on the welding described above, there is a possibility that a bushing adjustment error may occur, and in this case, the lengths of the plurality of control rod guide simples will differ, resulting in the lower nozzle being installed at an angle.
