Abstract
The fuel assembly is supported by means of a cylindrical supporting member which is introduced into a shore of the cross-member. The foot of the fuel assembly is introduced into the upper part of the cross-member. Orifices, coinciding with those made with the shore permit the introduction of the liquid metal into the supporting member and from there into the actual assembly. The supporting member is closed at its lower end. Application to the construction of the core of a fast neutron nuclear cooled with liquid sodium.
