Record 1 2017-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The core of a nuclear reactor comprises a central fuel zone, in which a fissile material normally constituted by a [mix] of enriched uranium oxide and plutonium oxide. This fuel zone is completely surrounded by a covering of fertile material normally constituted by depleted uranium oxide. In practice, this structure is obtained by juxtaposing vertical assemblies having a hexagonal section. Each of these assemblies comprises an outer tubular envelope, in which is placed a group or bundle of needles, each containing a pile of fissile and/or fertile material pellets.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

[...] le cœur d'un réacteur est constitué d'assemblages verticaux de section hexagonale ou carrée. Chacun de ces assemblages comprend un faisceau d'aiguilles combustibles ou «éléments combustibles» contenant chacun un empilement de pastilles du matériau à base d'actinide. Le réfrigérant (sodium ou eau) circule autour de chaque élément combustible.

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Power Stations
CONT

In practice, this structure is obtained by juxtaposing vertical assemblies having a hexagonal section. Each of these assemblies comprises an outer tubular envelope, in which is placed a group or bundle of needles, each containing a pile of fissile and/or fertile material pellets... the term "fuel needle" or nuclear fuel needle [is also] used for the needles contained in these fissile assemblies.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Centrales nucléaires
CONT

Démantèlement des assemblages. L'ouverture du TH [tube hexagonal] est pratiquée à la cellule d'examen de la centrale Phénix par fraisage mécanique sur l'angle du TH, l'assemblage comportant à cet endroit une aiguille postiche pour éviter le risque d'endommagement d'aiguille combustible.

The trapezoidal method [...] determines the forces in each pile, which are probably not equal because all piles in a group are not the same distance from the resultant.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fondations profondes
CONT

La méthode du diagramme trapézoïdal [...] permet de déterminer les forces agissant sur chaque pieu. Tous les pieux d'un groupe n'étant pas à la même distance de la résultante, ces forces ne sont probablement pas égales.
