ABSTRACT:
An improved lower end fitting (L.E.F.) having a bell mouth type of flow jet diffuser decrease pressure drop 10-15%, more evenly distributes flow and adds strength. It includes neutron thimble flux impingement shield of instrument and/or cable. Diffusers are stainless steel of circular cross-sect. and parabolic to optimize diffusion. Shape is based on lower core plate flow hole geometry, L.E.F. design and reactor flow rate. Thinner L.E.F. legs, smaller L.E.F. gussets and thinner L.E.F. flow plates possible.
