Zusammenfassung:A basket assembly for receiving a plurality of fuel assemblies includes a basket having a grid defining spacing between fuel assembly compartments, the grid defining a first compartment for receiving a first fuel assembly and a second compartment for receiving a second fuel assembly, wherein the cross-sectional area of the second compartment is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first compartment. The basket assembly is configured to receive in the first compartment a first fuel assembly, the first fuel assembly being a regular fuel assembly, and the basket assembly configured to receive in the second compartment a second fuel assembly, the second fuel assembly being an irregular fuel assembly, wherein the irregular fuel assembly includes at least one irregular fuel rod. Cette invention concerne un ensemble contenant destiné à recevoir une pluralité d'assemblages combustibles, comprenant un contenant ayant une grille définissant un espacement entre des compartiments d'assemblage de combustible, la grille définissant un premier compartiment destiné à recevoir un premier assemblage de combustible et un second compartiment destiné à recevoir un second assemblage de combustible, la section transversale du second compartiment étant plus grande que la section transversale du premier compartiment. L'ensemble contenant est conçu pour recevoir dans le premier compartiment un premier assemblage de combustible, le premier assemblage de combustible étant un assemblage de combustible standard, et l'ensemble contenant étant configuré pour recevoir dans le second compartiment un second assemblage de combustible, le second assemblage de combustible étant un assemblage de combustible non standard, l'assemblage de combustible non standard comprenant au moins un crayon de combustible non standard.
