Abstract: A lips-type multi-purposed spacer grid for supporting fuel rods within a nuclear fuel assembly is disclosed. In the spacer grid, the fuel rods are in contact with dimples and water strider-type springs in an equiangular surface contact manner. The spacer grid distributes load, applied to the springs, to the entire structure of its inner strips, thus reducing peak stress at the contact surfaces between the fuel rods and the springs and diminishing vibration of the fuel rods, and thereby reducing possible fretting wear of the fuel rods due to hydraulic vibration of the fuel rods. The spacer grid also enlarges the allowable elastic range of the springs, and allows the springs to soundly support the fuel rods by using residual spring force. The spacer grid has mixing blades capable of minimizing pressure loss and flow interference, so that the fuel rod cooling efficiency of the nuclear fuel assembly is improved.

Abstract: A side-slotted nozzle type double sheet spacer grid for nuclear fuel assemblies is disclosed. The spacer grid includes intersecting inner strips and four perimeter strips. Each inner strip has unit strip parts, each fabricated by integrating two unit sheet parts together into a single structure, such that the two unit sheet parts face each other and a nozzle type coolant channel is defined between the two unit sheet parts. Each perimeter strip is fabricated by integrating an inner thin sheet having the unit sheet parts with a flat outer thin sheet having a width corresponding to the width of the inner thin sheet into a single structure. The coolant channel has one or more outlets formed by cutting an upper portion of one of the two unit sheet parts of each unit strip part. Each unit sheet part has a slot longitudinally formed on each side surface of a spring that is projected from the unit sheet part to support a fuel rod within a four-walled cell.

Abstract: The present Invention relates to a gaseous sample injection apparatus for a chromatography which is capable of implementing a low temperature adsorption, a sample loop filled with a fixed volume of gaseous sample transferred from the sample gas storing and injection unit, a carrier gas storing tank for carrying the sample gases from the loop to the sample gas analyzing apparatus (GC) and control valves for connecting or disconnecting the sample gas storing and injection unit and the sample loop and connecting or disconnecting the carrier gas storing tank and the loop.

Abstract: A duct-type spacer grid for nuclear fuel assemblies is disclosed. In this spacer grid, a plurality of duct-shaped grid elements, individually having an octagonal cell, are closely arranged in parallel and are welded together, thus forming a matrix structure. The grid elements do not pass across the center of the subchannel of the assembly, thus effectively reducing pressure loss. Each of the grid elements is formed as an independent cell, and so they effectively resist against a lateral impact. A plurality of integral type swirl flow vanes, having different heights or same height, axially extend from the top of the grid to be positioned within each subchannel. The swirl flow vanes are bent outwardly, and so they do not contact the fuel rods during an insertion of the fuel rods into the cells. In the spacer grid, the fuel rods are supported within the cells by line contact springs without using any dimple.

Abstract: A nuclear fuel spacer grid, fabricated by intersecting a plurality of zircaloy or inconel grid strips and used for placing and supporting a plurality of elongated fuel rods within a nuclear fuel assembly, is disclosed. In the spacer grid of this invention, each of the grid strips is not cut away to form separate springs or dimples for supporting the fuel rods, but has an axial slot extending from one end of each strip to a length. The grid strips are intersected at the slots prior to being welded together into a single grid structure at a welding tap formed at an outside end or a middle portion of each of the slots. Each of the grid strips also has a dipper-shaped coolant mixing vane, or a dipper vane, at each of the upper and lower ends thereof. The spacer grid thus maximizes the thermal hydraulic coolant mixing effect within a fuel assembly and stably supports the fuel rods within the assembly while improving the mechanical/structural strength of the assembly, such as a buckling strength.
