ABSTRACT:
Grid strips for a nuclear fuel assembly grid have elongated weld tabs. The weld tabs are bent against the strips along the intersection with an adjacent orthogonal strip. The tabs are dimensioned and positioned to initially extend substantially the entire length of the intersection of two grid strips. The tabs are then melted during the welding process.
