ABSTRACT:
The invention refers to a filter (1) for separating particle from cooling water in a nuclear plant, and a fuel assembly with such a filter. The filter has an inlet end (2) and an outlet end (3) and permits through-flow of the cooling water in a main flow direction (x). The filter includes a number of sheets (4) extending in the flow direction from the inlet end to the outlet end. The sheets are arranged beside each other and form passages for the cooling water. The sheets include a first portion (4′) extending from the inlet end (2), a second portion (4″) extending from the outlet end (3), and a third portion (4′″) extending between the first portion (4′) and the second portion (4″). The sheets (4) have along the first portion continuous wave-shape extending in a direction (y) transversally to the flow direction (x) and along the third portion a continuous wave-shape extending in the flow direction (x).
