Abstract: A dual-cooled fuel rod's spacer grid with upper and lower dimples, including a blocking area of a flow passage that coolant flows through is reduced and dual-cooled fuel rods are supported, and reduces a turbulent flow of the coolant as well as vibrations of the dual-cooled fuel rods, thereby lessening fretting damage done to the rods. The spacer grid includes a plurality of unit grid straps, each of which includes a body disposed in a vertical direction, an upper dimple protruding from an upper portion of the body, and a lower dimple spaced apart from the upper dimple in a downward direction and protruding from a lower portion of the body. The unit grid straps form a grid structure that have inner grid holes into which the dual-cooled fuel rods are held, and the held dual-cooled fuel rods are each supported in four directions by the upper and lower dimples.

Abstract: An intermediate end plug assembly for a segmented fuel rod can stably support the fuel rod to the end of its cycle even if an interval between the fuel rods becomes narrow due to application of a dual-cooled fuel rod, and reduce excess vibration induced by flows of interior and exterior channels of the dual-cooled fuel rod for obtaining high burnup and output. To this end, the fuel rod has a segmented structure so as to make its length short. A lower intermediate end plug includes at least one channel hole, through which a coolant flows into an internal channel of the fuel rod, so that a possibility of causing departure from nuclear boiling ratio (DNBR) of the dual-cooled fuel rod is reduced.

Abstract: A spacer grid can be applied to close-spaced nuclear fuel rods. The spacer grid is directed to solve the problem in which, as the outer diameter of each nuclear fuel rod increases due to the use of dual-cooled nuclear fuel rods for improving cooling performance and obtaining high combustion and high output power, the gap between the neighboring nuclear fuel rods is narrowed to thus make it impossible to use an existing spacer grid. The spacer grid is a combination of unit grid straps, each of which has supports for supporting each of the nuclear fuel rods set in a narrow array and has a sheet shape, which are combined with each other. The supports are located at positions shifted from the longitudinal central line of each unit grid strap toward sub-channels.
