  • Nuclear fuel elements
    Patent number: 5724398
    Abstract: A nuclear fuel element for use in a gas cooled nuclear reactor, such as a Magnox reactor, has a plurality of fuel pin supports defining an element axis passing through the supports. Suspended between the supports are a plurality of fuel pins formed by a stack of oxide fuel pellets within a metal tube. Connected between the supports are a number of elongate members, for example tubular rods, which extend parallel to the axis and are disposed around the fuel pins. One or more of the tubular rods incorporates a doping material, such as gadolinia.
