ABSTRACT:
A fuel bundle for a nuclear reactor includes a plurality of fuel rods extending between upper and lower tie plates, and a filter plate seated on the lower tie plate. The filter plate includes a substantially planar plate having a plurality of fuel rod holes in a predetermined array, the plate having web areas between the fuel rod holes which are formed with a plurality of smaller debris filter holes. At least one of the web areas is formed to include a spring tab pivotable out of the plane of the plate so that in the event of debris overload, coolant can bypass the smaller debris filter holes.
