ABSTRACT:
A fuel element for nuclear reactors which has therein a bellows-like member surrounded by a filling gas. The bellows-like member contains a substance such as water or a mixture of water and gas that attains substantially the same temperature as the environment external to the fuel element. In response to temperature changes of the environment and pressure changes of the filling gas, the substance in the bellows-like member causes the bellows-like member to expand or contract thereby causing the internal fuel element pressure to be substantially equal to the pressure of the environment external to the fuel element.
