Axially segregated part-length fuel rods in a reactor fuel bundle

A reactor fuel bundle includes a channel (12) having an inner perimeter wall (24) and a channel longitudinal centerline (40). Both full-length (18) and part-length fuel (19) rods are positioned within the channel (12). The part-length rods (19) are separated into two groups. A first group has interm...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A reactor fuel bundle includes a channel (12) having an inner perimeter wall (24) and a channel longitudinal centerline (40). Both full-length (18) and part-length fuel (19) rods are positioned within the channel (12). The part-length rods (19) are separated into two groups. A first group has intermediate-length rods (20) located immediately adjacent to the inner perimeter wall (24). A second group has short-length rods (22) located approximate the channel longitudinal centerline (40).
