ABSTRACT:
Each of the square top nozzles (26) of the fuel assemblies of the core includes four locating openings (40) in the vicinity of the vertices of the nozzle. The set of locating pins (35) of the upper core plate (32) includes four pins at each of the positions of fuel assemblies which are intended to be engaged in the four openings (40) of the top nozzle (26). The locating openings (40) of the nozzle may consist of the internal bores of sleeves (36) which are fixed on the nozzle in an axial arrangement and holds the spring leaves (38) of the nozzle. The locating openings may also be machined inside four bosses, projecting at the upper part of the assembly, and each arranged in one corner of the assembly.
