ABSTRACT:
A fuel asembly with a fuel channel (2) which surrounds a plurality of fuel rods (1) and which is divided, by means of a stiffening device (3) of cruciform cross-section and four wings (5), into four sub-channels (4) each of which comprises a bundle of fuel rods.
Each fuel channel side has a plurality of stamped, inwardly-directed projections (6) arranged vertically one after the other, said projections being welded to one and the same stiffening wing. Each one of the wall portions located between the projections (6) defines, together with two adjacently positioned projections and a portion of the stiffening wing, a communication opening between two bundles located on one side each of the stiffening wing.
