A fuel assembly attains high burnup and increases reactor shut-down margin when loaded into a reactor core wherein a water gap width on a control rod side and a water gap width on a side opposite to the control rod side are almost equal to each other. The fuel assembly has a plurality of fuel rods arranged in a square lattice pattern, each fuel rod being filled with nuclear fuel pellets and also has at least one neutron moderator rod shifted toward one corner where a control rod is inserted, away from a cross sectional center of the fuel assembly.
