Abstract: This invention relates to a submerged entry nozzle for
use in a continuous casting process, which comprises a main
body portion (11) formed by an AG refractory material; an
internal hole portion (12) made of a graphite-less refractory
material which contains 90wt% or more of a spinel, with a
total content of other contents being 10wt% or less;
portions (13) surrounding the discharge openings, which are

nozzle has sufficient melting loss resistance and sufficient
thermal shock resistance, so that it is suitable for use in
casting various types of steel such as high concentration
oxygen-containing steel, high concentration Mn-containing

Abstract: A fuel assembly comprises a plurality of fuel rods
bundled in grid pattern, a part of the fuel rods containing
gadolinium as a burnable poison. At least one of the fuel
rod having gadolinium contains gadolinium enriched in at
least one kind of isotope of odd mass number more than an
isotopic abundance of natural gadolinium. In the enriched
gadolinium, a ratio of a content of Gd-155 to that of Gd-157
is 0.1 or less. An average concentration (wt%) G0 of
enriched gadolinia is, with 
M denoting the number of month under rated power operation
per one cycle of an equilibrium core, P power density of a
nuclear reactor (kw/l unit) and W a sum of isotopic
composition, is set in the range shown by the following
expression.
 G0 < 0.25·P·M/W.   
     Thereby, in the fuel assembly, residual reactivity of a
burnable poison at a cycle end can be decreased and thermal
performance can be improved. 
     In another aspect of the fuel assembly, a gadolinia
fuel rod disposed in a region on a control rod side contains
gadolinium enriched in an isotope of odd mass number more
than natural isotopic abundance. A concentration of enriched
gadolinia is set at for instance one half or less that of
natural gadolinia. Thus, enrichment of fissile material 
(uranium) in the gadolinia fuel rods can be larger than that
in the existing fuel assembly, uranium enrichment averaged
over a bundle being increased.

Abstract: The invention provides a crystallization apparatus that
includes an agitation tank, a liquid circulation means for circulating a
liquid or a slurry along a wall of the agitation tank, and one or more
temperature difference creation means capable of creating a
temperature difference at the wall of the agitation tank, wherein the
temperature difference creation means is installed to the agitation
tank. The temperature difference creation means is, for example,
arranged at a region where liquid or slurry spouted by rotating the
liquid spouting device contacts the wall of the agitation tank or a
region below that region, and which increases or decreases the
temperature of the spouted liquid or slurry compared to the
temperature of surrounding liquid or slurry. Since the apparatus
with this configuration has a large vaporization area and a large heat
transfer area, the induction period for crystal generation can be
shortened, and crystals with sharp size distribution and large size can
be obtained. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a specified crystal
form, that is, it is possible to control crystal polymorphism.
