| 11. | The Energy Department is considering importing about 24, 000 spent fuel elements from Europe.
|
| 12. | The fuel element or assembly is arranged in an array of cells or bundles.
|
| 13. | Pieces of the damaged fuel elements also fell to the bottom of the reactor.
|
| 14. | The reactor kept experiencing technical difficulties, with fuel elements breaking more often than anticipated.
|
| 15. | This differs from a fuel element failure, which is not caused by high temperatures.
|
| 16. | The reactor core normally consists of 27 fuel elements, of about 30 kg of uranium.
|
| 17. | The high-flux research reactor produces neutrons through fission in a specially designed, compact-core fuel element.
|
| 18. | Also for use with solid fuel elements fluorine volatility is quite well developed and tested.
|
| 19. | The Sodium Reactor Experiment reactor core contained forty-three fuel elements, each comprising seven fuel rods.
|
| 20. | The reactor is high with a core in diameter and high, with 32 fuel elements.
