Abstract
A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor is provided with at least one vertical water channel (4, 5) for a by-pass flow through the fuel assembly. At its lower end the channel is connected to a radial tube (10) which opens out at the outer side surface of the fuel assembly. Below the radial tube, the wall of the assembly base (2) is provided with a through-hole (12).
