ABSTRACT:
A nuclear fuel support grid 10' of egg-crate structure has wave defining strips 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d defined by bends 16' inclined from the vertical and opposing cantilevered springs 18' with inclined spring bases 20' opposing them for support of fuel rods 22 intermediate their ends. The "inclined waves" defined by inclined surfaces formed by bends 16' and spring bases 20' of cantilevered springs 18' provide lateral components to the coolant flow in patterns which enhance DNB and corrosion behavior.
