Abstract

See full text

A fuel element support grid for supporting a plurality of nuclear fuel elements intermediate their ends has at least some of the pairs of intersecting and slottedly interlocked strips including pairs of intersecting integral fluid flow directing vanes along at least one adjacent edge of each of the strips of the pair. Welds attach the pair of vanes to each other thereby providing welded attachment of the strips. The welds may be at the intersection of the vanes remote from their areas of integral attachment to their respective strips or they may be adjacent to their areas of integral attachment to their respective strips. The strips may be bent to provide the strip function and the arch function within the same stream engaging profile as the strip alone presents.
