Fuel rod assembly for nuclear reactors

Fuel rod assembly for nuclear reactors

One embodiment provides a multi-segment rod that includes a plurality of rod segments (110). The rod segments (110) are removably mated to each other via mating structures (300) in an axial direction. An irradiation target (620) is disposed within at least one of the rod segments (110), and at least...

Zusammenfassung:One embodiment provides a multi-segment rod that includes a plurality of rod segments (110). The rod segments (110) are removably mated to each other via mating structures (300) in an axial direction. An irradiation target (620) is disposed within at least one of the rod segments (110), and at least a portion of at least one mating structure (300) includes one or more combinations of neutron absorbing materials (1410,1412).
