Abstract: A method and system for demonstrating compliance of nuclear fuel rods with
fundamental licensing criteria for fuel rod internal pressure during nuclear
reactor operation is presented. A nuclear fuel rod evaluation process (300) is
performed during the fuel cycle design and licensing process for each
operating cycle of a particular nuclear reactor. The evaluation process (300)
includes a rod-by-rod internal pressure analysis based on empirical data of
actual operational power output levels of each fuel rod in the reactor core. A
computer program (300) constructs individual fuel rod power histories (308)
for each nuclear fuel rod in the reactor core based on empirical information
acquired during previous fuel cycles and the projected operation of the
reactor in an upcoming fuel cycle (304). Using the constructed power
histories for each fuel rod, the program then computes thermal and
mechanical overpower limits and a maximum internal pressure for each rod in
the upcoming fuel cycle (310, 314, 316). Licensing compliance (318) is
demonstrated by confirming that the computed maximum internal pressure
and maximum thermal and mechanical overpower stresses of any fuel rod for
the upcoming fuel cycle is less than the fundamental licensing limits.

Abstract: Fuel pump (3) draws fuel, from tank (2) and delivers it (4,6), via regulator (5), to engine (7). Regulator returns excess fuel (8) to pump. Space above fuel in tank is vented to atmosphere by vapor venting valve (1), with whose interior it communicates. Generally tubular valve body (27) has central top outlet (16)' leading to exterior, and houses coaxially (X) mobile cylinder (10), sliding vertically on guide ribs formed on its interior wall. The cylinder has a concave base (17) resting on a supporting ledge (14), just above a central vertical nozzle (11) connected to the fuel return pipe (8). In this position, during refueling, air and vapor displaced by incoming fuel can pass freely through base apertures (13), gaps in the support ledge, channels (29) between guide ribs and the top outlet (16), into the venting pipe (15), where an active carbon filter traps the fuel vapors. When the tank is full, the valve cylinder floats up against and closes the outlet, creating back pressure that stops the service station fuel delivery. Though the level falls as fuel is consumed, so long as the engine is running the valve remains closed because excess fuel returned by the regulator issuing from the nozzle (11) impinges on the concave valve cylinder base (17). An Independent claim is also included for the fuel tank.

Abstract: A door structure has a first plate with an opening enclosed by a peripheral edge and a door connected to this first plate by a hinge construction, which first plate carries a number of clamps which are simultaneously rotatable by an operating mechanism with an operating handle and through rotation can co-act with the peripheral surfaces of corresponding non-round continuous holes in the door. The peripheral surfaces each have a contact surface inclining relative to the main plane of the door structure, and the continuous holes have a form such that the clamps can pass therethrough. The peripheral edge is deformable under the influence of an air pressure pulse acting on the door structure in the closed position such that at least the door can be pressed out of the main plane it occupies when the door structure is in the closed position while maintaining the sealing co-action between the door and the peripheral edge, and the mechanical integrity of the door structure.
