ABSTRACT:
A spacer for a fuel assembly of a pressurized water reactor includes a first group of first webs standing on end and extending parallel to one another in a plane. Each of the first webs has longer sides and shorter sides. One of the longer sides of each of the first webs has a slit formed therein with a narrowed point and an impressed indentation. A second group of second webs stand on end and extend at right angles to the first webs. Each of the second webs has longer sides and shorter sides. Another of the longer sides of each of the second webs has a slit formed therein with a narrowed point and an impressed indentation. Each respective one of the first webs is connected to a respective one of the second webs to form a grid by inserting the webs into each other at the slits and locking the narrowed point of one web into place in the impressed indentation of another web with a plug-in connection.
