ABSTRACT:
A nuclear fuel assembly debris filter. Each fuel rod has a ring attached to the lower end cap. The rings are shaped and sized to define a space between the lower end cap and ring such that the space serves to trap, or filter, debris before it reaches the elevation of the fuel cladding. The rings may be circular, elliptical, or any suitable shape that provides the desired filtration effect.
