In a fuel transport container, basket has a basket hole including at least two adjacent inner side walls to be fit to a fuel assembly for housing the fuel assembly element in the basket hole. The fuel assembly element is directly housed in the basket hole of the basket. The fuel assembly housed in the basket hole is slid by bias means toward the two adjacent inner side walls thereof without pushing the fuel assembly thereby biasing the housed fuel assembly so that the fuel assembly element is in contact with the two adjacent inner side walls of the basket hole.

Fuel transport container and method of transporting a fuel assembly

In a transport container, at least one fuel assembly containing element including at least one fuel assembly is housed in a container having an inner surface portion to be fit to the at least one fuel assembly containing element. The inner surface portion has a predetermined shape substantially corresponding to a fit portion of the at least one fuel assembly containing element. The at least one fuel assembly containing element is pushed by a support against the inner surface portion of the container along a fixed support direction. Therefore, the fit portion of the at least one fuel assembly containing element is fit to the inner surface portion of the container so that the at least one fuel assembly containing element is fixedly supported to the container.

In a fuel protective apparatus having a fuel assembly, the fuel protective apparatus is hoisted up by using a hoisting accessory. The fuel protective apparatus includes a fuel protective container for housing the fuel assembly. The fuel protective container has an opening portion to which the hoisting accessory is accessed. An attachment jig member is fixedly secured to the fuel protective container so as to be engaged to the hoisting accessory accessed to the opening portion.

A fluid compressor having a rotational force transmitting mechanism. The mechanism comprises an Oldam portion, an Oldam ring and a second cylinder gearing. The Oldam portion is integral with a piston. The Oldam ring has a first pair of key grooves and a second pair of key grooves. The key grooves of the first pair extend at right angles to those of the second pair. The second cylinder bearing is fitted in the cylinder and has two projections fitted in the key grooves of the second pair. The Oldam ring is made of silicon nitride ceramic.

To generate electric energy to a load such as an electric car or the like, a fuel cell power generation system includes a fuel cell composed of a fuel electrode and an oxygen electrode with an electrolytic layer interposed therebetween so as to continuously supply electric power to the load, a secondary cell for supplying a required quantity of electric energy to the load at least during the initial time until the generation of electric energy is started with the fuel cell and a shifting unit serving to shift the power source of electric energy to the load from the fuel cell main body to the secondary cell or from the secondary cell to the fuel cell. An electrolytic layer constituting the fuel cell is composed of a film of high molecular material having ionic conductivity, and the secondary cell is a secondary lithium cell consisting of a nonaqueous solution based material or a solid electrolyte based material as an electrolyte.

Fuel cell power generation system

Unit cells and separator elements are stacked in layers, thus constituting a stacked structure of a fuel cell. A first segment channel, which is bored through the peripheral region of each separator element, communicates with a second segment channel formed in a cylindrical seal member which is joined to each two adjacent separator elements. Thus, manifolds for the intake and exhaust of a fuel gas and an oxidant gas are defined. The cylindrical seal member includes a pair of ring-shaped metal members joined to each two adjacent separator elements and a ring-shaped insulating member interposed between the metal members. Thus, the gases in the manifolds can be prevented from leaking out, and the adjacent separator elements are insulated from one another.
