Abstract: . A multi-layer, rolled metal foil is laser tack-welded to form a tube (18) which can be inserted in the intermediate space (16) between the fuel body (12) and cladding (14) of a metal alloy fissionable fuel element (10). The rolled foil has at least three foil layers at the point of tack welding (20). The laser welding penetration is adjusted so that the foil weld is maintained at a thickness of at least two foil layers, but does not penetrate all of the layers. The weld is designed to fail in response to fuel or blanket alloy swelling during irradiation. After weld failure, the overlapping layers slip and the multi-layer foil unrolls as the fuel swells, providing a continuous, unbroken barrier between the fuel or blanket alloy and cladding which masks defects (22) in the barrier due to weld failure.

Abstract: The ride is capable of raising a rider to a height of thirty feet or more above the ground, and then releasing the rider to swing. It includes a support structure, a support line secured to the support structure at one end, with an opposed end secured to a rider, preferably to an attachment which is worn by a rider. A launch structure is spaced from the support structure and carries a launch line which has an end which is capable of being raised and lowered above the ground, and which is designed to be releasibly attached to the rider attachment to lift a rider from the ground. A release device is located between the launch line and the rider attachment. In operation, the rider attachment with the support line attached is secured to the rider, the launch line is releasibly secured to the attachment, and the launch line is activated to move the rider laterally and upwardly towards the top of the launch structure. When the launch line is released from the attachment which carries the rider, the rider swings downwardly at a high speed simulating the sensation of "body flight" in a pendulum like motion until slowing to a speed at which he or she may remove the attachment. In an alternative mode of operation, the rider may be lifted up the launch structure, and the support line secured to the rider, with the rider then swinging off of the launch structure.
