peer agreement (net): +1fuel rod Explanation: Fuel rod A long, slender, zirconium metal tube containing pellets of fissionable material, which provide fuel for nuclear reactors. Fuel rods are assembled into bundles called fuel assemblies, which are loaded individually into the reactor core. https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/glossary/fuel-rod.h... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2017-10-12 00:05:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If more than one then fuel rod assemblies or bundles https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Nu... PWR fuel assembly (also known as a fuel bundle) This fuel assembly is from a pressurized water reactor of the nuclear-powered passenger and cargo ship NS Savannah.

fuel cassette (cassette-type fuel) Explanation: http://energetika.in.ua/ru/books/book-4/part-1/section-2/2-4... "В технологический канал на специальной подвеске вводится тепловыделяющая топливная кассета (рис. 2.21), представляющая собой последовательное соединение двух тепловыделяющих сборок твэлов длиной 3,5 м каждая. Каждая тепловыделяющая сборка содержит 18 стержневых твэлов (рис. 2.22), которые дистанционируются и крепятся к центральной несущей трубе десятью стальными дистанционирующими решетками сотового типа." https://books.google.ru/books?id=VfrEyypo-1oC&pg=PA78&dq=nuc... page 203 - cassette-type fuel, see also pages 74, 78 and 204 Example sentence(s):

6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +3
peer agreement (net): +3fuel assembly Explanation: "Fuel rod" is NOT the equivalent of "топливная кассета". It is the assembly of rods, not the rod itself. "Топливная кассета" is often used interchangeably with "топливная сборка". In the case of RBMK fuel, the full assembly consists of two sets of fuel rods, usually called 'fuel bundles'. Never heard anyone use the term "fuel cassette". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day6 hrs (2017-10-13 05:54:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, that's how nuclear engineers around me have been using them for at least the past 20 years. "Кассета" may be outdated somewhat, but still heard. |
