Abstract
In a fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor a fuel element spacer formed of an array of laterally positioned cojoined tubular ferrules each providing a passage for one of the fuel elements, the elements being laterally supported in the ferrules between laterally oriented spring members and oppositely positioned rigid stops, the wall thickness of the ferrules being relatively large and the height of the ferrules being relatively small to reduce hydride concentration in the ferrule material while maintaining relatively low flow resistance.
