Methods And Apparatuses For Stabilizing Fuel Containing Reactive Sodium Metal
US Patent:
2014007, Mar 13, 2014
Filed:
Sep 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/609890
Inventors:
Eric P. LOEWEN - Wilmington NC, US
Brian S. TRIPLETT - Wilmington NC, US
Brett J. DOOIES - Wilmington NC, US

Assignee:
GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS LLC - Wilmington NC
International Classification:
G21F 9/02, B01J 7/00
US Classification:
588 1, 422119
Abstract:
A method of stabilizing a fuel containing a reactive sodium metal may include puncturing a cladding of a fuel pin enclosing the fuel containing the reactive sodium metal to form an injection passage and an extraction passage. A reaction gas may be injected into the fuel pin through the injection passage to react with the reactive sodium metal to form a stable sodium compound. A ratio of a product gas and a remaining quantity of the reaction gas exiting the fuel pin through the extraction passage is subsequently measured, wherein the product gas is a reaction product of the reaction gas and the reactive sodium metal within the fuel pin. Once the measured ratio indicates that a reaction between the reaction gas and the reactive sodium metal is complete, the injection passage and the extraction passage are sealed so as to confine the stable sodium compound within the fuel pin.

International Classification:
G21C 3/322
US Classification:
376443
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a fuel bundle for a liquid metal cooled reactor includes a channel, a nose assembly secured to a lower end of the channel, a plurality of fuel rods disposed within the channel, and an internal mixer disposed within the channel above the plurality of fuel rods. The internal mixer includes peripheral flow control members and interior flow control members. The peripheral flow control members are located near walls of the channel, and the interior flow control members are located towards a longitudinal center of the housing. At least one of the peripheral flow control members is configured to direct liquid metal flowing through the channel towards an interior of the channel, and at least one of the interior flow control members is configured to direct liquid metal flowing through the channel away from the interior of the channel.

Methods, Systems, And Computer Program Products For Generating Fast Neutron Spectra
US Patent:
2013016, Jun 27, 2013
Filed:
Dec 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/336229
Inventors:
Brian S. Triplett - Wilmington NC, US
Assignee:
GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS LLC - Wilmington NC
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702 23
Abstract:
Methods implemented by at least one electronic processor for generating pointwise fast neutron spectra may include receiving composition data; receiving source data or calculating the source data; receiving nuclear data; and calculating the pointwise fast neutron spectrum based on numerical integration using the composition, source, and nuclear data. Systems for generating pointwise fast neutron spectra may include a bus; at least one electronic processor connected to the bus; an input device connected to the bus; and a communication link connected to the bus. The at least one electronic processor may be configured to receive composition data from the input device via the bus, to receive source data from the input device via the bus or to calculate the source data, to receive nuclear data from the communication link via the bus, and to calculate the pointwise fast neutron spectrum based on numerical integration using the composition, source, and nuclear data.
