ABSTRACT:
A storage frame for nuclear reactor fuel assemblies includes a base plate. A plurality of shafts stand erect on and are secured to the base plate. The shafts each have a substantially rectangular cross section and are disposed diagonally opposite one another in a checkerboard-type configuration. The shafts have longitudinal edges adjacent one another with an offset defining a gap therebetween. At least two connecting elements join at least some of the diagonally opposite shafts together along the longitudinal edges by spanning the gap. The at least two connecting elements include at least one first connecting element being associated with a respective pair of the longitudinal edges and have a high rigidity in a first direction parallel to the base plate. The at least two connecting elements also include at least one second connecting element being associated with a respective pair of the longitudinal edges and having a high rigidity in a second direction parallel to the base plate.
