ABSTRACT:
A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor includes approximately mutually parallel fuel rods in a bundle having upper and lower ends. A skeleton holding the bundle has a handle, an upper tie plate retained on the handle at the upper end of the bundle, a lower tie plate at the lower end of the bundle, and at least one support element joining together the lower tie plate and the upper tie plate. The skeleton and the bundle are inserted in a fuel assembly case. A redundant support device holds the lower tie plate, the fuel assembly case and the upper tie plate together, when the handle is lifted.
