Preferably all such rupture means are oriented to minimize the hydraulic resistance to the flow of emergency core coolant such as all rupture means pointing in the same direction. Rupture means may be disposed at different elevations in adjacent fuel pins and, further, fuel pins may be provided with two or more rupture means, one of which is in the upper portion of the fuel pin. Rupture means are mechanical as by providing a locally weakened condition of a controlled nature in the cladding.,下面是Nuclear fuel pin controlled failure device专利的具体信息内容。

1. A FUEL ASSEMBLY FOR A WATER-COOLED NUCLEAR REACTOR INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF PARALLEL, SLENDER ELONGATED FUEL PINS HELD TOGETHER IN SQUARE ARRAY TO FORM A FUEL BUNDLE, SAID FUEL PINS CONTAINING NUCLEAR FUEL HERMETICALLY SEALED WITH A CLADDING TUBE AND INCLUDING MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH SAID CLADDING TUBES FOR RUPTURING THE CLADDING TUBES AT A PREDETERMINED LOCATION SAID MEANS FOR RUPTURING THE CLADDING TUBES BEING ALL ORIENTED IN THE SAME AZIMUTHAL DIRECTION WITHIN THE FUEL BUNDLE WHEREBY HYDRAULIC RESISTANCE TO THE FLOW OF EMERGENCY CORE COOLANT WILL BE MINIMIZED IN THE EVENT A LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCI-
2. Fuel assembly according to claim 1 wherein the means for rupturing the cladding tubes are rupture slots in said cladding tubes.
3. Fuel assembly according to claim 2 wherein said rupture means are constituted of cladding material which is mechanically weaker at the point rupture is desired than the remainder of the cladding material.
4. Fuel assembly according to claim 3 wherein the cladding tube is thinner at the point rupture is dEsired than in the remainder of the cladding tube.
5. Fuel assembly according to claim 4 wherein the rupture means on adjacent fuel pins are disposed at different elevations.
6. Fuel assembly according to claim 5 wherein at least some of the fuel pins include two rupture means, one of which is located in the upper portion of the fuel pin.
7. Fuel assembly according to claim 5 wherein the nuclear fuel is slightly enriched uranium dioxide, the cladding tube is made of zirconium alloy, the cladding tube is normally 0.025 to 0.035 inches thick and the cladding has been locally thinned at the point rupture is desired.
8. Fuel assembly according to claim 1 wherein the active length of the nuclear fuel is 12 feet and each fuel pin includes two rupture means, one of which is in the upper four feet of the active length of the nuclear fuel.
