Nuclear Energy & Physics

The C-E five hole fuel assembly design was evolved from consideration of the lower peaking effect of smaller(removal of one fuel rod)water holes the mechanical advantages of larger(four fuel rods removed)water holes. The larger water holes allowed the use of rugged 0. 9-in. O. D. x 0. 035-in thick Zircaloy guide tubes for the fuel assembly structure. These water holes are distributed relatively uniformly in the reactor core. Source: European Union. (references)
