A fuel assembly includes a cluster of mutually parallel fuel rods. A fuel assembly channel laterally surrounds the cluster of fuel rods and has a substantially rectangular cross section and flat channel walls. Grid-like spacers having meshes formed therein each receive a respective one of the fuel rods for guiding the fuel rods in a plurality of axial positions. At least one support spring laterally supports each respective one of the fuel rods in the mesh guiding the fuel rod. Each of the spacers have inner ribs being aligned parallel to the fuel rods and outer peripheral ribs opposite the channel walls. At least some of the inner ribs are fastened to the peripheral ribs, and the outer peripheral ribs are joined together only by the inner ribs.

In order to obviate the use of supporting rods, an upper end piece of a coolant tube penetrates a fuel assembly head of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly and is supported on the fuel assembly head. A lower end piece of the coolant tube is fastened to and supported by a fuel assembly foot, in particular with rods of partial lengths. A supporting skeleton therefore includes the foot and the coolant tube with spacers. The fuel assembly head and a handle are placed on the skeleton and screwed onto the coolant tube after fuel rods are pushed into meshes of the spacer.

In a fuel assembly, lower end pieces of fuel rods, guide tubes and coolant pipes, etc., are inserted and/or screwed into a base plate and secured against lifting by a bolt. In the case of fuel rods, in particular fuel rods which do not extend over the entire length of normal rods, the bolt is screwed onto connecting parts in such a way that a releasable bayonet closure is produced. In the case of coolant pipes of boiling water reactors, there is provided in particular a screw connection which is irreleasably secured against torsion by the bolt.

A gap between a foot part and a channel of a boiling water fuel assembly is sealed against a coolant flow by a spring being supported by a central part thereof against the channel and by sides thereof against the foot part and being clipped and/or clamped on at that location even when all of the fuel rods are removed. For this purpose, the upper edge can extend around the foot part edge or the spring may be constructed as a spring band running entirely around the foot part and being fitted into a lateral groove.

A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor includes approximately mutually parallel fuel rods in a bundle having upper and lower ends. A skeleton holding the bundle has a handle, an upper tie plate retained on the handle at the upper end of the bundle, a lower tie plate at the lower end of the bundle, and at least one support element joining together the lower tie plate and the upper tie plate. The skeleton and the bundle are inserted in a fuel assembly case. A redundant support device holds the lower tie plate, the fuel assembly case and the upper tie plate together, when the handle is lifted.

In a foot of a fuel assembly of a boiling water reactor, an upper edge of a transition member is tight against a lower edge of a fuel assembly casing to substantially prevent bypass flow between them. Rather, bypass apertures are provided therefor over all sides of the fuel assembly casing. In a first position of a base plate lying on the transition member, the bypass apertures on some sides are blocked by lateral surfaces of the base plate, while in a second position of the base plate, the bypass apertures of other sides are blocked. The direction of the bypass flow can thus be predetermined regardless of the position of the fuel assembly casing.

A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor includes a cluster of mutually parallel fuel rods. A fuel assembly channel laterally surrounds the cluster of fuel rods and has open upper and lower ends. A top plate covers the upper open end of the fuel assembly channel and has coolant outlets formed therein. A foot part is assembled from a plurality of individual parts and includes a cast transitional piece having a lower end with an inlet opening formed therein and an upper edge inserted into the open lower end of the fuel assembly channel. The transitional piece defines and surrounds a flow channel widening upward in funnel-like fashion from the inlet opening. The foot part also includes a base plate being disposed at and welded to the upper edge of the transitional piece. The base plate covers the open lower end of the fuel assembly channel and has coolant inlets formed therein. A foot part for a fuel assembly of a boiling water reactor includes a transitional piece defining and surrounding a flow channel widening in funnel-like fashion upward along a center axis. The transitional piece has a lower end with at least one inlet opening formed therein and an upper end with an edge. A one-piece base plate is welded to the edge, covers the flow channel at the top and has coolant inlets formed therein for a flow of coolant through the fuel assembly.

A lower nozzle for use in a nuclear fuel assembly provided. The lower nozzle is of the type having an axis and comprising a transverse lower tie plate for channelling the coolant through the lower tie plate and a tubular skirt extending axially from the periphery of the lower tie plate, the skirt delimiting an axial housing closed at one end by the lower tie plate and open at the opposite end, a debris filter configured for axial insertion in the housing and snap-fit springs for retaining the debris filter in the housing after insertion. The springs are configured to shift the debris filter axially towards the lower tie plate.
