ABSTRACT:
A nuclear fuel assembly grid comprising an improved outer grid strap wherein abutting outer grid strap segments are joined at a point of intersection with an inner grid strap. The normally preformed weld where the inner strap fork tines extend through the outer grid strap thereby fixedly bonds the outer grid strap segments together.
