ABSTRACT:
A fuel assembly for a boiling water nuclear reactor contains a plurality of vertical fuel rods, which are arranged between a bottom tie plate and a top tie plate in a surrounding vertical casing part. At its lower end the casing part is connected to a bottom part which is provided with an inlet opening for water for conducting water in through the bottom tie plate, through the space between the fuel rods in the vertical casing part and out through the top tie plate. A debris catcher with a low flow resistance to water is provided below or above the bottom tie plate and at a distance from the bottom tie plate.
