ABSTRACT:
A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor comprises a plurality of fuel rods (2, 2'), which constitute four partial bundles and are surrounded by a fuel channel system (1) comprising one partial tube for each partial bundle. Each of the four partial bundles rests on a bottom tie plate (19) and is positioned with respect to the others by means of a common top tie plate (31), which is provided with a lifting loop (33) which is sufficiently strong to be able to lift the four partial bundles simultaneously, a major part of the lifting force being transmitted to said bottom tie plates via a plurality of supporting fuel rods (2').
