Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to nuclear reactors, and more particularly, to nuclear reactors having fuel assemblies that employ support grids. A method of reducing friction and physical contact between a fuel rod and support grid in a nuclear fuel assembly is provided. The method includes applying a lubricant composition to the outer surface of the fuel rod during fuel assembly fabrication and removing the lubricant composition afterward.
