ABSTRACT:
A fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor has a pressure plate attached to the upper or lower end thereof. The side of the pressure plate adjacent the fuel elements is exposed to the ambient pressure of the reactor coolant. The alternate side of the pressure plate is exposed to a pressure from another location in the reactor, selected so that the pressure above the pressure plate is greater than that below the pressure plate.
