Title: Improvements in or relating to nuclear reactors
Inventor: RICHARDS JOHN EWART
IPC: G21C1/12
Filed: 1960-01-20
Abstract: 924,748. Nuclear reactors. UNITED KING- DOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. April 14, 1961 [Jan. 20, 1960], No. 2158/60. Class 39 (4). A plutonium - fuelled nuclear reactor has the fuel in clad sheet form arranged for fluid cooling on one face, the other face being in close proximity with a neutron moderating material. A fuel, the temperature of which can be allowed to rise several hundred degrees above the normal working temperature so that, in the event of coolant failure, the reactor will shut itself down due to its own negative temperature coefficient, comprises a cement of plutonium oxide and stainless steel particles clad in stainless steel sheet. Carbon dioxide is the preferred coolant and in the core arrangement shown in Fig. 4, flows in the spaces between hexagonal graphite cylinders 1 which are encased in the steel clad cermet sheet fuel 2 and so protected from the carbon dioxide which would otherwise oxidize the graphite at high temperatures. A preferred core arrangement is shown in Fig. 10 and comprises hexagonal graphite cylinders 5, each drilled to accommodate a plurality of steel clad cermet fuel tubes 6. The cylinders 5 are mounted between plates 14, 20, each plate 20 being attached by rods 25 to a shield plug 24 to which spring loading is applied, e.g. by Belleville washers 26, and each plate 14 having a conical collector 16 secured to it. This spring loading allows for swelling of the graphite cylinders under irradiation (Wigner effect). The conical collectors 16 are supported by a grid plate 17 mounted within the reactor pressure vessel 7 and integral with a thermal shield 29 inside which are further thermal shields 27, 28 spaced from each other and the shield 29. The upper end of the shielding is closed by a biological shield 30 of laminated steel and graphite which is bolted down to the thermal shield 29 compressing the core-loading springs. Lateral biological shielding (not shown) is outside the pressure vessel. The cooling gas enters the reactor through ducts 31 flowing up between the pressure vessel 7 and thermal shield 29 or between the graphite cylinders 5. These two coolant flows meet through ports 34 in the thermal shields 27, 28 and 29 and descend together through the fuel tubes 6 into the conical collectors 16 and thence through pipes 35, corrugated to allow for expansion, to a collector pan 36, leaving the reactor through ducts 37. A small bleed-in point 38 in the summit of the cover 39 of the reactor avoids stagnation of the gas in the upper part of the pressure vessel 7. On raising the shield 30 after the cover 39 has been removed, rollers mounted on a flange 41 of the pressure vessel 7 may be inserted into a track 40 cut into the shield which can then be rotated to provide access to any graphite cylinder 5 or fuel tube 6 through access holes 42 which are normally plugged with stepped plugs 43.

Abstract: 844,895. Lining and covering tubes. RESISTOFLEX CORPORATION. Jan. 22, 1958 [Jan. 30, 1957], No. 2192/58. Class 99(2). A process of preparing a tube of prestressed, sintered polytetrafluoroethylene resin which is substantially dimensionally stable indefinitely at room temperature but adapted due to its prestressing to alter its girth substantially uniformly throughout its length upon being heated to a temperature below the gel point of the resin and thereafter cooled, comprises the steps of taking a tube of sintered polytetrafluoroethylene resin which is at a preselected elevated temperature below the gel point of the resin, applying a deforming force to the tube while at that temperature so as to alter its girth, cooling the tube while maintaining the application of the force, and subsequently removing the force. As shown, a length of P.T.F.E. tubing 10 is mounted within a steel tube 12 provided with flanges 14, 16, the ends of the tubing being secured by clamps 22 to plugs 18, 26 ; the plug 18 is provided with a vent passage 20, and the plug 26 has an inlet needle valve 30 fitted in a bore 28 thereof. To safeguard against the blowout of the plugs retaining plates 32, 34 are secured to the flanges 14, 16. The assembly is placed in an oven, heated to a temperature of 600F, and then removed from the oven, and air pressure is supplied through the valve 30 to build up the pressure inside the tubing to 200 pounds per square inch whereby the tubing is expanded against the wall of the tube 12 ; the plugs 18, 26 are drawn inwardly as the result of radial expansion of the tubing. The air pressure is maintained until the tubing has cooled to about 100F when the air supply is disconnected and the tubing removed from the tube 12. In the preparation of a pre-stressed length of tubing for use as a liner, an apertured plug 40, Fig. 3, is fitted to each end of the tubing and the latter after being heated in an oven is subjected to a tensile force and stretched to become reduced in girth, the tension being maintained when the tubing cools. The plugs are removed and a quench bath may be employed. In an alternative method, after heating in an oven, the tubing is pulled through one or more reducing dies.
