Abstract

See full text

A method of making a fuel channel for a fuel assembly for a nuclear power boiling water reactor. The method includes providing at least one first sheet of a Zr-based material of a first thickness, and providing at least one second sheet of a Zr-based material of a second thickness which is less than said first thickness. It also includes assembling at least said at least one first sheet and said at least one second sheet, such that a fuel channel is formed and such that said at least one first sheet forms a lower part of the fuel channel. The at least one second sheet forms a higher part of the fuel channel and the lower part is joined with said higher part. The lower part constitutes 20-75% of the length of the fuel channel.
