OSTI ID:6158721
A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor comprises a plurality of fuel rods which constitute four partial bundles and are surrounded by a fuel channel system comprising one partial tube for each partial bundle. Each of the four partial bundles rests on a bottom tie plate and is positioned with respect to the others by means of a common top tie plate which is provided with a lifting loop which is sufficiently strong to be able to lift the four partial bundles simultaneously, a major part of the lifting force being transmitted to said bottom tie plates via a plurality of supporting fuel rods.
