Figure 1 shows the concept of a fuel assembly. Each fuel element l is bundled and housed in a wrapper tube 2. The wrapper tube 2 is provided with a pad 3 to reinforce the wrapper tube 2 so as to withstand mechanical interaction with adjacent fuel assemblies. The coolant flows into the orifice hole 5 of the transformer nozzle 4 and flows out from the handling head 6 side. Because the bundle of fuel elements is arranged extremely densely, the flow velocity is 6 m/1 Iec or more, causing a large pressure loss (4 V4/cl), which accounts for 50% to 80% of the pressure loss in the reactor cooling system. It becomes. In addition, when P2/Ket fuel assemblies, which generate less heat in the early stage of combustion, are arranged as adjacent fuel assemblies such as in a radially non-homogeneous core, or even in a homogeneous core, they are controlled adjacent to the fuel assemblies. When rods are installed, the coolant outlet temperature may vary greatly between adjacent reactor cores, causing thermal fatigue to the upper core mechanism and creating conditions that make cracks more likely to initiate.

As shown in Fig. 2, the fuel element 1 consists of a core fuel section 7 that generates heat, blanket burners above and below it, and a cascade section 9.The length of the gas plenum section 9 accounts for about 40% of the primate. . The axial position of the pad 3 provided with 2 brim 2 (C) is set near the upper end of the upper blanket part as shown on the side of Fig. This is because the coolant is rarely heated after passing through the core 7, so the wrapper U can be provided with an opening τ to allow the coolant to escape. In this case, the flow velocity is increased by the amount of coolant flowing out from there, and the pressure loss is reduced.However, in order to increase the neutron economy, the wrapper G2 is made as thin as possible to increase the neutron economy. Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which an aperture 10 is provided in the band portion 3.By installing this aperture 10, it is possible to increase the The flow of coolant flowing through the base is reduced by about 30X, and the pressure loss due to this is northward to the square of the flow velocity, so it is reduced by about 50X as the flow rate increases, and as a result, the pressure loss for the dye script as a whole is 3-
2 Kf/crA, which is reduced by about 209. Also, by mixing the adjacent fuel assembly 1dj with all the openings 10 closed, the coolant temperature difference at the outlet is reduced by about 20, creating a skewer with a thermal cycle fatigue layer 6η about 5 times larger. Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of this invention, in which a groove 11 is provided in the opening lO provided in the pad part 3, so that adjacent fuel assemblies such as a homogeneous core This is for cases where the temperature difference is small, and the main purpose of both mixing and mixing is to increase the amount of outflow from the opening 10.

In this case, the pressure loss across the fuel assembly is reduced by about 25%.

On the other hand, if the temperature difference between adjacent fuel assemblies is extremely large, mixing may cause large thermal fatigue inside the fuel assemblies, which may cause problems.
In such a case, it is possible not to provide the openings on all six sides of the fuel assembly, but to provide the openings so that the adjacent fuel assembly does not face each other.

By adopting the embodiments described above, the following secondary effects can also be obtained. In other words, a natural circulation cooling capacity is required to remove the decay heat of the extracted fuel during fuel exchange, but if the band part 3 does not have the opening 10, the liquid level will decrease as shown in Figure 5a. must also be above the handling head 6. By providing the opening IO, the liquid level can be lowered as shown in Figure 5, making it possible to lower the height of the reactor vessel and reduce costs by making it more compact. It comes out.
