Abstract: Provided is a fuel assembly 1 for a PWR nuclear reactor capable of stably creating transverse flows of coolant for pressing and securing control rods so as to restrain vibration of the control rods in order to restrain the outer surfaces of the control rods and the inner surfaces of control rod guide tubes from being worn, wherein an upper nozzle arranged above the fuel assembly comprises an adapter plate 6 constituting the lower structure of the upper nozzle, a side wall extended along the periphery of the adapter plate, an overhang projected into a space above the adapter plate from the upper part of the side wall, and apertures for attaching control guide tubes and passage holes, which are formed in the passage surface of the adapter plate, and wherein those 15A, 15B, 15C of the passage holes which are located at positions where the coolant impinges upon the overhang are generally arranged, line-symmetric with respect to diagonal lines of the passage surface serving as symmetric axes Q, and ligaments 21, 2

Abstract: An upper hole 37A and a lower hole 37B are provided at two positions, namely, upper and lower portions, of a side surface of a guide tube 27, and a thimble tube 22 is pressed against an inner circumferential surface of the guide tube 27, by a differential pressure between coolant inside and outside the upper hole 37A and the lower hole 37B.

Abstract: There is provided an image forming device. The image forming device includes: a light source for emitting light; a liquid lens configured to allow a focal point of the liquid lens to be adjusted and which focuses the light on an imaging plane; and drive means for driving the liquid lens to scan the focal point. The drive means scans the focal point to scan the light on the imaging plane, thereby forming an image.
