ABSTRACT:
A core and a transition fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor having a first fuel assembly including structure for laterally spacing parallel and coextending fuel rods positioned at preselected core elevations and also having a second fuel assembly including lateral spacing structure at preselected core elevations, at least one of which is different than the elevations of the spacing structure of the first fuel assembly. The transition fuel assembly is positioned between the first and second assemblies and includes lateral spacing structure positioned at each core elevation where the first and second fuel assemblies have a spacing structure. The transition fuel assembly ensures that contact among the fuel assemblies of the core is through the spacing structures.
