Fuel array for an undermoderated nuclear reactor, comprising rods (6) arranged in a prism-shaped casing (1) parallel to the height of this casing (1). The internal surface of each of the walls (2) of the casing (1) is provided with channels (5) each of the channels (5) is located opposite a rod (6) arranged at the periphery of the array. The projecting parts (9) of the walls (2), between two channels (5), occupy part of the space between two peripheral rods (6). In this way, the moderating level remains constant throughout the cross-section of the array. The invention applies, in particular, to pressurized water reactors.
