Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110064185SPACER GRID - The invention relates to a final, ready to use, spacer grid for a nuclear boiling water reactor. The final spacer grid comprises: i) a spacer grid structure made of an alloy that has been formed and assembled such that it constitutes a spacer grid, and ii) an outer oxide coating on the surface of the spacer grid structure. Said alloy is a Ni base alloy that consists of the following: (table) The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the final spacer grid according to the invention.03-17-2011

20080232536Spacer and a Fuel Unit for a Nuclear Plant - The invention refers to a spacer for holding a number of elongated fuel rods intended to be located in a nuclear plant, and a fuel unit with such spacers. The spacer encloses a number of cells for receiving a respective fuel rod extending in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the respective cell. Each cell is formed by a sleeve-like member having an upper edge and a lower edge. The sleeve-like member includes a number of abutment surfaces projecting inwardly towards and extending substantially in parallel with the longitudinal axis for abutment to the fuel rod the cell. The lower edge and the upper edge have, seen transversely to the longitudinal axis, a wave-like shape with wave peaks, aligned with a respective one of said abutment surfaces, and wave valleys located between two adjacent ones of said abutment surfaces.09-25-2008
20080267339Spacer and a Fuel Unit for a Nuclear Plant - The invention refers to a spacer for holding a number if elongated fuel rods intended to be located in a nuclear plant and to a fuel unit having such spacers. The spacer encloses a number of cells, which each has a longitudinal axis and is arranged to receive a fuel rod in such a way that the fuel rod extends in parallel with the longitudinal axis. Each cell is formed by a sleeve-like member. Each sleeve-like member is manufactured in a sheet-shaped material that is bent to the sleeve-like shape.10-30-2008

20100158185METHOD AND APPARATUS OF ESTIMATING DRYOUT PROPERTIES IN A NUCLEAR LIGHT WATER REACTOR - The invention concerns a method of estimating when dryout may occur in a nuclear light water reactor of the boiling water reactor kind. The method includes the use of a formula which expresses the local dryout property of the nuclear reactor. The formula includes at least a first and a second factor. The first factor is a first function that describes how the dryout property depends on the flow of the cooling medium through the nuclear fuel arrangement. The second factor is a second function that describes how the dryout property depends on the axial power profile of the nuclear fuel arrangement. The first and the second functions describe said flow dependence and said axial power profile dependence independently of each other. The invention also concerns a nuclear energy plant, a computer program product (06-24-2010
