ABSTRACT:
A fuel assembly is disclosed in which the nuclear fuel rods are supported by a grid-shaped bottom plate and a similar top plate, each of which is welded together from thin vertical metal strips, for example of a thickness of 0.6 mm, to define a grid of vertical channels (13, 14) intended for the fuel rods, each vertical channel being surrounded by eight adjacent channels only intended for coolant. (FIG. 2.)
