ABSTRACT:
Improved operability and economy of a nuclear reactor can be obtained by attaining a mixing of the flows of coolant in the lower plenum of the fuel assemblies of the nuclear reactor, a high flow stability of the two-phase flow in the fuel assemblies and a small pressure loss in the core. To achieve this, there is provided a coolant guide tube 60 that communicates with the inside of the fuel support piece 12 inserted in the control rod guide tube and the passage 16, wherein there is formed a coolant guide passage 61 along which coolant descends in the area outside of the coolant guide tube in the fuel assemblies from opening 79. The coolant guide passage along which the coolant descends from the opening is formed in an area outside of the coolant guide tube in the fuel support piece.
