ABSTRACT:
A new configuration of a pressurized water reactor nuclear fuel assembly having a disengaging upper tie plate corner portion (60) which will disengage if the fuel assembly is unintentionally lifted, thus precluding the lifting of the fuel assembly from the reactor core and thereby avoiding the potential risk of dropping the irradiated nuclear fuel assembly.
