<p>A spacer grid which supports nuclear reactor fuel rods, includes an intersecting pattern of strips combined with cylindrical members which are slotted and fit onto the strips in a manner which encircles the intersections defined between the strips. The tops of the cylindrical members can be shaped or formed with vanes to induce swirl within the flow channels defined between the fuel rods or deflect part of the flow in one channel into an adjacent one.</p> |
