Spacer Grid

View page
US Patent:
20130202077, Aug 8, 2013
Filed:
Feb 2, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/364769
Inventors:
Lewis A Walton - Forest VA, US
George S. Pabis - Lynchburg VA, US
Andrew W. Doan - Lynchburg VA, US
James G. Hatmaker - Lynchburg VA, US
International Classification:
G21C 3/352
G21C 3/34
US Classification:
376442
Abstract:
A spacer grid includes interlocked straps comprising metal sheets or plates welded together to define a spacer grid having a top and bottom. The interlocked straps define a plurality of cells comprising vertical passages connecting the top and bottom of the spacer grid. The cells include: upper dimples proximate to the top of the spacer grid and distal from the mid-plane of the spacer grid; lower dimples proximate to the bottom of the spacer grid and distal from the mid-plane of the spacer grid; cantilevered upper springs having fuel rod engagement surfaces proximate to the top of the spacer grid and distal from the mid-plane of the spacer grid; and cantilevered lower springs having fuel rod engagement surfaces proximate to the bottom of the spacer grid and distal from the mid-plane of the spacer grid.

View page
US Patent:
20130272479, Oct 17, 2013
Filed:
Aug 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/597838
Inventors:
Jeffrey T Lee - Forest VA, US
Roger R. Ridgeway - Lynchburg VA, US
George S. Pabis - Lynchburg VA, US
International Classification:
G21C 3/33
US Classification:
376440
Abstract:
A fuel assembly including a plurality of fuel rods arranged mutually in parallel wherein the fuel rods include a fissile material, a plurality of guide tubes arranged in parallel with and interspersed amongst the fuel rods, an upper end fitting connected with upper ends of the guide tubes, and a lower end fitting connected with lower ends of the guide tubes. At least one of the upper end fitting and the lower end fitting includes a grid formed by interlocking metal strips secured together at intersections between the metal strips.

Pulse Arc Welding Of Spacer Grids To Guide Tubes

View page
US Patent:
20130301791, Nov 14, 2013
Filed:
Apr 16, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/864168
Inventors:
BABCOCK & WILCOX MPOWER, INC. - , US
Lewis A. WALTON - Forest VA, US
James G. HATMAKER - Lynchburg VA, US
George S. PABIS - Lynchburg VA, US
International Classification:
G21C 3/356
G21C 21/00
B23K 9/09
US Classification:
376442, 21913051
Abstract:
A structural skeleton of a nuclear fuel assembly is assembled by inserting guide tubes through a plurality of spacer grids, and performing pulse arc welding to connect the inserted guide tubes and the spacer grids. In the structural skeleton, the spacer grids may comprise intersecting grid straps, and at least some of the grid straps may include tabs that are pulse arc welded to guide tubes. The structural skeleton may include grid retaining rings installed on the guide tubes and pinning some spacer grids, with the grid retaining rings being pulse arc welded to guide tubes. A fuel assembly includes the structural skeleton, a plurality of fuel rods comprising fissile material passing through the spacer grids, and upper and lower end fittings secured to upper and lower ends, respectively, of the guide tubes.

Filed:
May 9, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/974888
Inventors:
- Charlotte NC, US
George S. Pabis - Lynchburg VA, US
Julius M. Ullmann - Forest VA, US
Jean H. Raas - Lynchburg VA, US
Martha A. Gilliam - Lynchburg VA, US
Anne R. Austin - Forest VA, US

International Classification:
G21C 13/024
G21C 13/02
G21C 7/08
G21C 1/32
G21C 3/33
Abstract:
A pressurized water reactor (PWR) comprises a pressure vessel containing primary coolant water. A nuclear reactor core is disposed in the pressure vessel and includes a plurality of fuel assemblies. Each fuel assembly includes a plurality of fuel rods containing a fissile material. A control system includes a plurality of control rod assemblies (CRA's). Each CRA is guided by a corresponding CRA guide structure. A support element is disposed above the CRA guide structures and supports the CRA guide structures. The pressure vessel may be cylindrical, and the support element may comprise a support plate having a circular periphery supported by the cylindrical pressure vessel. The CRA guide structures suitably hang downward from the support plate. The lower end of each CRA guide structure may include alignment features that engage corresponding alignment features of the upper end of the corresponding fuel assembly.
