ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor fuel rod formed of a cladding tube, end caps hermetically sealing the tube at both ends thereof, the tube being divided transversely into two longitudinal zones one of which is for receiving a charge of nuclear fuel and the other of which is for receiving gas-adsorbing material free of nuclear fuel, includes means received in the second zone for simultaneously supporting the tube and for containing gas-adsorbing material therein, the means having a capsule having an open end facing toward the one zone and a gas-permeable member closing off the open end of the capsule, the capsule containing adsorber material that has been dried and degassed in high vacuum at temperatures of from 500.degree. to 1000.degree. C, the capsule having an interior space between the adsorber material contained therein and the gas-permeable element, and including a metallic foil destructible by a given internal pressure of the fuel rod gas-tightly closing the interior space; and method of production.
