Nuclear Fuel Element parts. The RFA-2 fuel assembly can provide lower cycle costs. Its advanced features provide increased fretting margin, heat transfer improvements and enhanced debris mitigation meaning customers can feel confident about fuel performance and economics.
It provides the following benefits:
• Stiff structure for margin against fuel assembly
distortion.
• High contact-area mid grids for enhanced increased
margins-to-fuel-rod fretting.
• IFM grids that provide increased additional DNB margin.
• High-performance mixing vane grids.
• High-burnup advanced materials – ZIRLO® and
Optimized ZIRLO.
• Multiple layers of defense against debris.
• Superior integral fuel burnable absorber for optimum
fuel cycle economics.
