Abstract:
A neutron absorber member including a tube having a split extending radially completely through a sidewall of said tube throughout the entire axial length thereof such that the absorber member has a C-shaped geometry formed by the split. The sidewall of the tube is resiliently biased radially outwards and comprised of a metal matrix composite that is configured to absorb neutrons emanation from a spent fuel assembly in a sufficient amount to thereby maintain subcriticality of said spent fuel assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A neutron absorber member that is configured to be inserted and installed into a control rod guide tube of a spent fuel assembly, the absorber member comprising:\n a tube comprising a split extending radially completely through a sidewall of said tube throughout the entire axial length thereof such that the absorber member comprises a C-shaped geometry formed by the split, wherein the sidewall of the tube is resiliently biased radially outwards; wherein the tube is comprised of a metal matrix composite that is configured to absorb neutrons emanating from said spent fuel assembly in a sufficient amount to thereby maintain subcriticality of said spent fuel assembly; and wherein the axial length of the tube is greater than or equal to 3 feet (1 meters).
