ABSTRACT:
A nuclear fuel rod assembly storage rack comprises a rigid structure delimiting vacant spaces of square, cross-section and neutron-absorbing units also having a square cross-section prearranged before introduction into all or part of the vacant spaces between the shroud tubes. Each neutron-absorbing unit is made up of four flat plates of neutron-absorbing material, surrounded by at least two support grids. The support grids may comprise two units assembled together, for example by welding.
