ABSTRACT:
The fuel element comprises a plurality of modular capsules (5) arranged in sequence axially within a sheath (2). Each of the capsules (5) comprises a tubular case (10) closed at both ends by a porous element (13, 14) and enclosing a stack of pellets (11) in contact with the inner surface of the case (10) without radial clearance. The outside diameter of the capsules (5) is such that a very small radial clearance exists between the outer surface of the capsule (5) and the inner surface of the sheath (2).
