Abstract
Process and holding component for repair of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly spacer support. The holding component is formed from a metal strip, on the free ends of which are introduced elastic projections. After removal of the damaged crosspiece, a holding component partly embracing the fuel rod is locked into a slot of a spacer support by means of its projections.
