ABSTRACT:
A liquid metal cooled nuclear reactor of the kind wherein a fuel assembly is supported on a diagrid and submerged in a pool of coolant. The diagrid comprises a plenum supported on a load bearing undershell and has an array of resilient spikes upstanding from the upper face of the plenum each for locating a fuel sub-assembly. The load of the fuel assembly is distributed over the upper face plate of the plenum and transmitted to the undershell by an array of strut members.
