ABSTRACT:
For each of the demountable fuel rods (23), the end part of the protective tube (27), which end part is open towards the exterior, has a reduced diameter over a certain length and comprises at least one seating which does or does not pass through its wall. The end part of the fuel rod (23) is integral with a ferrule (34) which is coaxial with the fuel rod and which surrounds the assembly rod (31) of the fuel rod over part of its length. The ferrule (34) is engaged on the reduced-diameter part of the protective tube (27) when the rod (31) is screwed into the bore (28) of the protective tube. Locking against rotation of the fuel rod in the protective tube (27) is ensured by deformation of the ferrule (34) within the openings of the end part of the protective tube (27). The fuel rod is demounted by exerting a torque on it by way of an engagement surface (37), for example of prismatic form, located near the end of the fuel rod.
