A fuel assembly for use in a core of a nuclear power reactor. The assembly includes a plurality of helically twisted fuel elements supported by a frame in a fuel rod bundle. Each of the fuel elements includes fissile material. When viewed in a cross-section that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the fuel assembly, the outermost fuel elements of the fuel rod bundle define a substantially circular perimeter. The fuel elements are arranged in a mixed grid pattern that includes a first, rectangular grid pattern and a second, triangular grid pattern.
