This invention relates to a fuel assembly for fast reactors and aims to reduce stresses induced in fuel pins by interaction between a wrapper tube and a bundle of fuel elements each of which consists of the fuel pin and a wire spacer wound around the fuel pin. The fuel elements consists of two kinds of fuel elements, one of them consists of conventional fuel pins and wire spacers and the other fuel pins of smaller diameter than the conventional fuel pins and wire spacers of larger diameter than the conventional wire spacers whereby the fuel assembly is provided with larger space therein.
