Abstract:
The effects of the spacer grids with mixing vanes in rod bundles on the turbulent structure were investigated experimentally. The detailed hydraulic characteristics in subchannels of a 5 × 5 rod bundle with mixing spacer grids were measured upstream and downstream of the spacer grid by using a one component LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry). Axial velocity and turbulent intensity, skewness factor, and flatness factor were measured. The turbulence decay behind spacer grids was obtained from measured data. The trend of turbulence decay behaves in a similar way as turbulent flow through mesh grids

Abstract:
A Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis of the nuclear fuel spacer grid was conducted to assess the strength of components for the safety of nuclear power plants. The fuel assembly consists of fuel rods, upper end-fitting, lower end-fitting, guide tubes, and spacer grids. Spacer grids play a critical role in maintaining the proper spacing between fuel rods within a fuel assembly and ensuring smooth coolant flow. This role becomes particularly crucial during unforeseen emergencies, such as seismic loads, where minimizing deformation caused by external forces is essential. Therefore, this study p

Abstract:
Safety increasing of nuclear reactors is urgent problem for atomic industry. It takes 100% noncontact dimensional inspection of nuclear reactor components. Optoelectronic methods and systems for 3D inspection of fuel assembly elements, including spacer grids and fuel elements, are presented. The universal structured light method for 3D inspection of Russian and western grid spacers using diffraction elements is developed. For fuel elements inspection one considers the shadow method which allows one to implement full inspection of articles under transported along the automatic production line.

Affinity grids have great potential to facilitate rapid preparation of even quite impure samples in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (EM). Yet despite the promising advances of affinity grids over the past decades, no single strategy has demonstrated general utility. Here we chemically functionalize cryo-EM grids coated with mostly one or two layers of graphene oxide to facilitate affinity capture. The protein of interest is tagged using a system that rapidly forms a highly specific covalent bond to its cognate catcher linked to the grid via a polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer. Importan

The structural integrity of fuel assemblies hinges significantly on the effectiveness of spacer grids. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to assess the structural robustness of the mid-spacer grid (SG) of the PLUS7 fuel assembly (FA) using 3D shell elements. Any excessive external load from seismic activity can be broken down into two perpendicular components, namely normal load and shear load. The decomposition enables easy assessment of the structural integrity of the fuel spacer grid for any external loads. From the analysis, the reaction force of normal input displacement is arou

Recently, a dual-cooled fuel (i.e. annular fuel) which is compatible with current operating PWR plants has been proposed in order to increase both power densities and safety margins.

Because a flow-induced vibration by fast primary coolant is inevitable phenomenon, it is necessary to examine the fretting wear behavior between an annular fuel and designed spacer grids. In

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the coolant interaction in adjoining fuel assemblies in the VVER reactor core composed of TVSA-T and upgraded TVSA FAs. The processes of the in-core coolant flow were simulated in a test wind tunnel. The experiments were conducted using models representing different portions of the VVER reactor core fuel bundle and consisted in measuring the radial and axial airflow velocities in representative areas within the FAs and in the interassembly space. The results of the experiments can be translated to the full-scale conditions
