Description of the Related Art A fuel assembly used in a pressurized water reactor has a fuel bundle portion in which a large number of fuel rods are arranged in parallel, and thimble tubes and the like are mixed and supported by a plurality of support grids. It is composed of a fixed upper nozzle and a lower nozzle.
The lower nozzle (N ') is, as shown in FIG.
A rectangular plate (3) having a plurality of holes (1) for fixing the thimble tube serving as the skeleton of the fuel assembly and a large number of water flow holes (2), and hanging down from a corner portion of the plate (3), It is constituted by four legs (5) for supporting the plate (3) with a predetermined space provided between the lower core plate (4) and the lower core plate (4). Further, the main part of each surface of the lower nozzle is chamfered (6) sufficiently so as not to damage the assembly adjacent to the fuel assembly handling part.

The cooling water reaching the lower nozzle (N) flows into the fuel assembly through the large and small water flow holes (2) formed in the lower nozzle (N ′) as shown in FIG. It passes between the rods and reaches the upper nozzle. Then, the cooling water that has passed through the water flow holes of the upper nozzle is circulated to the lower core plate (4) through the steam generator.

図っていた。By the way, foreign matter such as metal pieces mixed in the cooling water system is often caught by the support grid after passing through the water flow holes of the lower nozzle. The trapped foreign matter violently vibrates due to the flow of the cooling water, which may damage and damage the fuel rods around it. Therefore, conventionally, in order to prevent the inflow of the foreign matter into the fuel body, a method of preventing the inflow from the lower surface of the lower nozzle, such as reducing the size of the water flow hole of the plate of the lower nozzle, is adopted. By catching foreign matter with the lower nozzle plate, damage to the fuel rod due to the foreign matter is prevented.

It exists though there are few. That is, in the above-mentioned conventional method, the foreign matter in the cooling water flowing out from between the leg portions cannot be captured, and therefore, the foreign matter passes through the gap between the fuel assemblies from the outside to the fuel assembly. If the foreign matter invades the fuel rod, it is considered that the foreign matter may damage the fuel rods of the assembly.

In the swaged lower nozzle, there is provided a ridge extending downward from the plate outer peripheral portion with a predetermined distance from the lower core plate. In the lower nozzle, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance (H-h) from the tip of the ridge to the upper surface of the lower core plate is the distance from the inner surface of the ridge to the water hole end of the lower core plate closest to the inner surface. It is particularly preferable to set the distance to the edge (L) or less in order to prevent foreign matter from flowing out from the lower nozzle.

Since the cooling water is stopped and circulated upward through the water flow holes of the plate, almost all foreign matter in the cooling water can be captured by the lower nozzle.

Is provided. And FIG. 3 shows the lower core plate (4).
FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view showing two conventional lower nozzles (N ′) installed in the lower core plate (4), and most of the cooling water flowing in from the water holes (7) provided in the lower core plate (4) is as shown in the figure. It passes through a water flow hole (2) provided in the lower nozzle (N) and reaches the fuel assembly. The effective water flow passages of the lower core plate water flow hole (7) and the lower nozzle water flow hole (2) are almost the same,
The lower core plate water flow hole (7) is set to be slightly large (~ 10%). On the other hand, the effective cross-sectional area of the flow path occupied between the aggregates, specifically, the gap between the lower nozzles is only 5% or less of the effective cross-sectional area of the lower nozzle water hole. Moreover, the gap is 2 mm or less, which is 1/2 or less of the hydrodynamic equivalent gap of the nearby lower nozzle water flow hole. Therefore, although it can be said that the flow rate into the gap of the lower nozzle is extremely small, it still exists. Also,
As shown in FIG. 3, in order to prevent damage to the adjacent fuel assemblies, a large chamfer (6) as described above is performed.
Is required, and it is easier to flow than expected. And the water flow hole (2) of the lower nozzle to prevent the inflow of foreign matter.
The smaller the gap, the smaller the equivalent gap, and the larger the amount (9) of flowing into the lower nozzles (N ').

離を夫々示す。On the other hand, the cooling water velocity passing through the lower core plate (4) reaches several m / sec, and the dimension from the upper surface of the lower core plate (4) to the lower surface of the lower nozzle (N) is several cm to several tens of cm. Then, it is considered that the foreign matter, which is sufficiently large and is on the cooling water flow, directly reaches the lower surface of the lower nozzle. Therefore, in order for foreign matter to enter the gap between the lower nozzles,
It is necessary to ride on stream (9) or (10). That is, in order to prevent the flow (9) (10) of this cooling water, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the ridge (8) is hung from the outer peripheral portion of the lower nozzle plate (3). The configuration of is effective. In addition, about the height (h) of this ridge (8),
It can be thought of as follows. (1) How to determine the height (h) of the ridges (8) Basically, the fuel assembly is designed so as to suppress the flow rate flowing into the gap between the lower nozzles. In Fig. 2, the axial flow of cooling water is v 1 , and the radial flow is v 2
Then, in order to capture the foreign matter by the ridge (8), the following formula 1 is set. In addition, (L) is from the inner surface of the ridge (8) to the lower core plate (4) closest to the inner surface.
And (H) show the distance from the lower surface of the lower nozzle plate (3) to the upper surface of the lower core plate (4), respectively.

On the other hand, the height (h) of the ridge (8) can also be obtained from the relationship with the lower nozzle water flow hole (2).

In this case, the numerical formula 1 described above is given priority and 10 A ridge (8) of mm or more is substantially required. Here, an example was created under the above-mentioned formula, that is, under the condition of H−h ≦ L.
