ABSTRACT:
Corner of each square pipe is molded into a terrace shape having steps. When a basket is constructed by these square pipes, steps of adjoining square pipes are assembled together face to face. Fuel rod aggregates are housed inside the square pipes and in a cells formed between the square pipes. Since the adjoining square pipes are assembled in a staggered arrangement, boundaries of the cells are defined by the walls of the square pipes itself.
