    Abstract: A fuel assembly includes: a square cylinder channel box having a square cross-section; and fuel rods disposed in a square lattice shape and filled with a nuclear fuel material. The fuel rods includes: a first rod disposed in an outer layer in the box and a second rod disposed in an inner layer in the box and having a larger diameter than the first rod. An absolute value of a difference between a hydraulic equivalent diameter around the first rod and a hydraulic equivalent diameter between a surface in the box and the first rod is more than or equal to a value obtained by multiplying an absolute value of a difference between the hydraulic equivalent diameter around the first rod and the hydraulic equivalent diameter around the second rod by a ratio of a cross-sectional area of the inner layer to a cross-sectional area of the entire box.
