A fuel assembly having a plurality of fuel rods arranged in a lattice state and being charged into a core of a nuclear reactor using light water as a coolant, which comprises the fuel rods consisting of a first group of fuel rods and a second group of fuel rods, an average concentration of U236 in the first group being lower than an average concentration of U236 in the second group, and the first group and the second group being arranged unevenly in the fuel assembly, preferably, a fuel assembly wherein the first group is arranged at the periphery of the fuel assembly, and the second group being arranged at positions other than the periphery, has a low reactivity penalty due to U236 and can reduce the requirements for natural uranium. |
