Abstract
A nuclear reactor fuel assembly has an elongate fuel assembly casing. A fuel assembly head which is located within an open end of this fuel assembly casing is connected through the use of a rigid connecting body to a fuel assembly foot located in the fuel assembly casing and can be lifted off out of the fuel assembly casing. An angled part bears on the outside against two sides of the fuel assembly casing which meet one another and is retained on the fuel assembly head through the use of a bolt. A rigid peg can be disposed on the angled part and can engage into a port in one of the two sides which meet one another. Such a rigid peg can also be disposed on one of the two sides of the fuel assembly casing and can engage into a pocket in the angled part.
