ABSTRACT:
A hollow flow deflector (10) for use in a nuclear reactor fuel assembly having spaced grids of orthogonal strips (16, 18) mounted for defining square matrices of aligned and supported cylindrical fuel elements (12, 14). The deflector has a central cylindrical opening (20), an upstream end portion (22), a downstream end portion (24) and an intermediate transition portion (26) joining the end portions. The hollow flow deflector (10) has a plurality of concave flow channels (30) regularly spaced about the periphery of the body in its downstream end portion. The flow channels (30) have their inlet portion defined in the transition portion (26) of the body (10).
