    Abstract: In order to reduce the flow resistance of a coolant flowing through a passage (63) in the support plate (64) of a boiling water reactor and entering the transition piece (50) at the lower end of a fuel assembly resting on said support plate (64), the lower rim (60) of the transition piece (50) forms a conically tapered surface which fits into a corresponding conical counter-surface (62) at the upper edge of said passage (63). The lower rim (60) of the transition piece (50) forms a circular inlet which is concentric with the passage (63) and has a size equal or slightly larger than the passage opening. Fingers (70) protruding laterally into said opening and extending down into said passage (63) are used to center the low rim (60) within the passage (63). Additionally, the end caps (90) of the fuel rods may be stream-lined and the lower tie plate (53) of the fuel assembly may be spaced apart from the inner surface of a fuel channel (52) by a plurality of ribs (86) which form a plurality of peripheral through holes (86') on each of the four inner surfaces (84) of the rectangular fuel channel (52).

    Abstract: In a boiling-water fuel element with a central coolant pipe (WR) as the backbone of the bearing frame, upper end section (WE) of the coolant pipe (WR) becomes a relatively slim linking stud (4) engaging through an aperture in the upper rod holder (1) and secured there. Thus the upper end section (WE) lies at the upper edge of the active zone (AZ) and the coolant outlets of the coolant pipe (WR) take the form of passages (8) which are axial or run inwards to the linking stud. This provides good flow conditions, especially low pressure losses, in the upper part of the fuel element.
