In-service change in the flexural rigidity of the VVER-1000 fuel assemblies
In-service dimensional stability of the VVER-1000 reactor fuel assemblies (FA) depends to a great extent on their flexural rigidity. A decrease in the flexural rigidity in the process of the FA operation in the reactor may lead to such FA bowing as will make it difficult for the absorber rods of the...
