ABSTRACT:
A reactor fuel system has fuel pins secured to respective carrier rings as an inner sub-assembly and an outer sub-assembly for mutual telescoping relation, with radial spacing thimbles interconnecting the two assemblies and also permitting interconnection to adjacent assemblies to ensure axial coincidence of cooling flow paths. In the case of booster fuel of annular section, which may be rod-mounted for ready insertion into and withdrawal from the reactor core, the center passages of respective pins are brought into axial alignment to foster effective coolant circulation therethrough.
