A fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor comprising a plurality of fuel units (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), stacked on top of each other, each one comprising a top tie plate (5), a bottom tie plate (6) and a plurality of fuel rods (4a, 4b, 4c) arranged between the top tie plate and the bottom tie plate. The fuel units are surrounded by a fuel channel (9) with a substantially square cross section. At least some of the fuel units comprise fuel rods with different diameters and different fuel quantities. The fuel rods are adapted such that fuel quantity and lattice space are optimized laterally and axially in the fuel assembly. |
