Abstract
In a nuclear fuel assembly having a plurality of separate fuel bundles secured therein in separate compartments, coolant flow paths are provided to enable the flow of coolant between the separate compartments, thereby equalizing the hydraulic pressure between the separate compartments and minimizing the possibility of thermal-hydrodynamic instability between the separate fuel bundles in the nuclear fuel assembly. A plurality of coolant flow paths are formed through solid structural ribs secured to an outer flow channel of the nuclear fuel assembly to permit coolant flow between the separate compartments.
