摘要

A fixed cluster for the core of pressurized-water nuclear reactor including rods and a holder for rods. The holder includes: an upper head; fins extending radially towards the outside from the upper head; systems for mounting the rods and distributed on the fins; and at least two abutment elements on the upper plate of the core, each of the abutment elements protruding longitudinally from a respective fin beyond the mounting systems so as to be vertically oriented towards the top when the fixed cluster is provided on a nuclear fuel assembly.
