FIELD: heat energy generation and transfer to coolant in water-moderated reactor. SUBSTANCE: fuel assembly has fuel element bundle 1 with upper end plugs 2, pressurizers 3, and retainers 4 for fuel column 5. Fuel element bundle is placed in spacer grids 6 arranged through height of fuel assembly. Fuel assembly also has top and bottom nozzles 7 and 8, respectively, joined by means of supporting members. The latter are made in the form of angle plates 9 mounted at fuel assembly corners through its height from bottom nozzle 8. Angle plates are fixed to spacer grids 6 and to bottom nozzle 8. At least one spacer grid 11 is installed on fuel elements 1 in vicinity of pressurizers 3 from upper end plugs 2 to retainers 4 of fuel column 5. Spacer grid is not joined to angle plates 9, that is, it is free to move vertically relative to angle plates. EFFECT: enhanced mechanical strength of fuel assembly. 3 dwg
