ABSTRACT:
A fuel rod capturing support grid having a spring and arch design which provides performance improvements over current or previous designs by decreasing fuel rod fretting wear. The disclosed spring and arch designs follow the contour of the fuel rod, thus providing an increased, substantially arc-shaped area of contact between the fuel rod and the spring tabs and arches.
