ABSTRACT:
Fuel assembly having square cross-section and a plurality of tube elements (7,8) arranged in a square reactor lattice, at least one of said tube elements being water tubes (8) and a predominant number being fuel rods (7). Each fuel channel wall has a hollow projection (9) lying in a vertical mid-plane. The number of tube elements between two projections (9) lying in the same mid-plane is smaller than nine and greater than two. A plurality of rows of nine tube elements (7, 8) are arranged in parallel with each of the mid-planes.
