CONTROLLED REMOVAL OF VOLATILE NUCLEAR FISSION PRODUCT AND HEAT RELEASED BY COMBUSTION WAVE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G21C3/02 

Abstract RU 2537505 C2

FIELD: atomic physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to travelling-wave nuclear reactors and particularly to methods for controlled removal of volatile nuclear fission products and heat released by a combustion wave in the nuclear reactor. The method employs a fuel assembly having cover which is configured to hold a porous mass of nuclear fuel with a volatile nuclear fission product. The method includes connecting a fluid medium control subunit with a cover, which is configured for controlled removal of at least a portion of volatile nuclear fission products from the porous mass of nuclear fuel, and circulation of the heat-removing fluid medium through the porous mass of nuclear fuel to remove heat produced by the mass of nuclear fuel.

EFFECT: providing high and sustained burnup of fuel.
