A fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor with a number of parallel fuel rods which are retained by means of spacer lattices and guide tubes (3), which guide tubes (3) are also fixed to the spacer lattices, a top tie plate (4) and a bottom tie plate between which the guide tubes (3) with associated fuel rods are fixed. The top tie plate (4) has been provided with through-holes (10) for connection to a top sleeve (7) joined to the upper end surface of the respective guide tube (3). According to the invention, there is arranged inside the top sleeve (7) a first locking element (9) for cooperation with a second locking element (13). This is arranged on a guide sleeve (11) which is insertable through a hole (10) in the top tie plate (4), which hole corresponds to the respective top sleeve (7). |
