Abstract:
A filter is provided which includes channels for circulation of coolant fluid through the filter, at least one channel extending along a channel centerline and includes an upstream section, a downstream section and an intermediate section extending between the upstream section and the downstream section and being enlarged relative to the upstream section and the downstream section.The filter may also include at least one separating member defining inside the intermediate section of the at least one channel an annular passage whose axis is substantially coaxial to the channel centerline in the intermediate section.
Abstract:
A module including a casing extending in a longitudinal direction, a bundle of fuel rods encased in and supported by the casing and connector provided on the casing for connecting the casing side-by-side to the casing of at least one other module to obtain a nuclear fuel assembly having a channel box defined by the casings of the assembled modules and of larger cross-section than the casing of each of the assembled modules and a bundle of fuel rods of larger cross-section than that of each the assembled modules.
