Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004102584A2] The aim of the invention is to provide an aligning device (6) for fuel elements (1) with which fuel elements (1) of a pressurized water reactor can be aligned in a comparatively easy and quick manner. To this end, the invention provides that an aligning device (6) for fuel elements comprises an aligning body (8), which extends in a longitudinal direction and whose lateral faces that are formed from side metal sheets (14) can be displaced out of a position of rest in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The cross-sectional dimensions of the lateral faces of the aligning body in the position of rest are selected so that they are less than the corresponding cross-sectional dimension of a reference fuel element by a predetermined nominal value.
