The invention relates to a fuel assembly (1) and a spacer (7) for a nuclear reactor wherein the spacer comprises a plurality of cells (9) for retaining and mutually fixing parallel elongated elements (3, 8) extending through the cells to form a bundle in the fuel assembly. The cells are tubular and internally provided with four elongated, non-independently resilient supports (10), formed in the sleeve material, or with two elongated, non-independently resilient supports (10), formed in the sleeve material, and two independently resilient supports (16), wherein the supports are intended to provide an all-sided positioning of the elongated element.
