    摘要: A fuel assembly has a water rod which consists of a coolant ascending path and a coolant descending path, the coolant ascending path opening below a fuel support of a lower tie plate, the coolant descending path opening above the fuel support and adapted to guide downwardly the coolant that has flowed up the coolant ascending path to the upper portion of the water rod. The lateral cross section of the coolant ascending path is more than 25 times that of the coolant descending path.The nuclear reactor with these fuel assemblies loaded in the core is operated as follows. After startup of the reactor when the reactor power is low, all the control rods inserted in the core are withdrawn completely. Then, the reactor power is controlled by regulating a liquid level formed in the water rods. This reactor operation method prolongs the lifetime of the control rods, thereby reducing the number of times they have to be replaced.

    摘要: A fuel assembly according to the present invention is formed in such a manner that the small diameter portion of an upper end plug of a fuel rod is inserted into a boss of an upper tie-plate. The upper end plug includes a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion which is disposed below the former. An expansion spring in disposed in the small diameter portion of the upper end plug. A cover member surrounding this expansion spring is disposed in the large diameter portion of the upper end plug, and extends upwardly. Since the cover member surrounds the expansion spring, pressure loss caused by the expansion spring can be reduced.
