MARITIME FUEL ASSEMBLY MECHANICAL AND HYDRAULIC EVALUATION
This report describes the results of mechanical and hydraulic evaluations of the fuel assembly of a nuclear reactor core designed for maritime applications. Tests were carried out to assess the following aspects of fuel assembly operation: natural frequency and damping; torsional and cantilever bending; dynamic and static deflection; pressure drop and lift-off; flow induced vibration; relative motion between fuel rod and spacer grid; and spacer grid cyclic strength.
