ABSTRACT:
A spacing grid for a nuclear fuel assembly, particularly a water cooled assembly, includes two spaced sets of plates. Each set is formed of plates parallel to each other and fixed at their ends to a polygonal belt in the form of a strip having fins along one longitudinal edge at least. Each corner of the belt is free of openings. Two at least of the corners are rounded and located inside of imaginary extensions of the flat lateral faces of the belt. They are connected to the edges of the lateral faces by gussets sloping radially inwardly.
