Abstract: A spacer for a fuel assembly for a light water nuclear reactor contains a plurality of intercrossed segments, which form a grid. The segments are formed from first and second metal strips which are assembled and provided with protruding parts or corrugations in such a way that the adjacent protruding parts are embodied in such a way that a flow component perpendicular to a vertical central plane which extends between the metal strips is applied to cold water running out from the flow sub-channel.
