ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor fuel assembly is designed to maintain its structural integrity during all phases of reactor operation. Spacer assemblies, containing a plurality of rectangular slotted plates intersecting and interlocking in egg-crate fashion, laterally maintain the fuel elements and guide tubes in a spaced array. Spacer assembly movement is restrained by collars mechanically fixed to guide tube sleeves at each spacer assembly location.
