| 41. | The reactor core structure was built for a capacity of 59 fuel assemblies, one source assembly, and 9 control rods.
|
| 42. | Natural uranium, mined at Jaduguda Uranium Mine in the Singhbhum area of Jharkhand state, is converted into nuclear fuel assemblies.
|
| 43. | Many of the internal components and fuel assembly cladding are made from zircaloy because it is relatively transparent to neutrons.
|
| 44. | Norwegian scientists also criticize the program for failing to cover 120, 000 spent fuel assemblies from Russian submarines and icebreakers.
|
| 45. | The Lepse, an old Soviet supply ship in the Murmansk bay, has hundreds of spent nuclear fuel assemblies on board.
|
| 46. | These mock fuel assemblies are put into a test stand where data points are taken at specific powers, flows, pressures.
|
| 47. | Remote-control hydraulic jacks have lifted the fuel assembly slightly, but officials now are concerned about excessive pressure on the fuel bundle.
|
| 48. | Used fuel assemblies taken from reactors are initially stored for at least 18 months in the pools adjacent to their reactors.
|
| 49. | The reactor core was designed to contain 198 hexagonal fuel assemblies, arranged to form a cylindrical geometry with two enrichment zones.
|
| 50. | The 161 uranium fuel assemblies were bought in the 1980s for the Philippines'620-megawatt nuclear power plant, which was mothballed in 1986.
