Light Water Reactor Triso Particle-Metal-Matrix Composite Fuel

View page
US Patent:
20120314831, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/157632
Inventors:
Kurt A. Terrani - Knoxville TN, US
Assignee:
UT-BATTELLE, LLC - Oak Ridge TN
International Classification:
G21C 3/60
G21C 3/06
US Classification:
376409, 427 6
Abstract:
A metal matrix, microencapsulated nuclear fuel component includes an integral metal matrix having an outer buffer region and an inner fuel containing region; a multiplicity of nuclear fuel capsules embedded in the fuel containing region of the matrix for encapsulating a nuclear fuel particle and products resulting from nuclear and chemical reactions; and a nuclear fuel particle encapsulated in each of the nuclear capsules.

3D Printed Features On Nuclear Fuel Cladding For Optimized Heat Transfer

US Patent:
20220359094, Nov 10, 2022
Filed:
Apr 25, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/728327
Inventors:
- Oak Ridge TN, US
Phillip C. Chesser - Oak Ridge TN, US
Benjamin R. Betzler - Oak Ridge TN, US
Ryan R. Dehoff - Oak Ridge TN, US
Kevin G. Field - Oak Ridge TN, US
Kurt A. Terrani - Oak Ridge TN, US
International Classification:
G21C 15/06
G21C 15/28
Abstract:
A nuclear fuel cladding with improved thermomechanical properties is provided. The nuclear fuel cladding includes a double-walled construction having inner and outer hexagonal sidewalls. The inner sidewall and the outer sidewall are spaced apart from each other to form a cooling channel therebetween, and the inner sidewall surrounds a nuclear fuel and is spaced apart from the nuclear fuel by a small gap. Helical fins extend into the cooling channel to interconnect the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall. Resilient fingers extend toward the nuclear fuel through the small gap to comply with variations in the size of the nuclear fuel due to fabrication tolerances as well as thermal expansion and swelling of the nuclear fuel, for example UO, when undergoing fission. The nuclear fuel cladding is formed according to an additive manufacturing process, for example laser powder bed fusion printing.
