Abstract
The individual fuel rods of a fuel assembly are connected to a fission gas exhaust system via perforated end caps. For this purpose, the perforated end caps are provided with external threads and screwed into a rod holding plate of the fuel assembly. In addition to the attachment thus provided, a tight connection to the canals of the fission gas exhaust system, which are built into the rod holding plate, is accomplished thereby at the same time.
