Abstract: A compact vehicle production line is disclosed. The production line comprises a floor process of assembling floor constituent parts. Each is an aluminum alloy extrusion die cast product, which has been made, in an extrusion die casting process, by forcing molten aluminum alloy through a mold cavity in a predetermined direction. The assembled floor constituent parts are welded to make a floor structure. In an interior parts mount process, interior parts are to the floor structure to make a floor unit. In a body main process, each of two body side structures are trimmed to make a body side unit. A roof structure is trimmed to make a roof unit. The floor unit, the body side units, and the roof unit are assembled. The assembly is welded to make a body unit. In a running parts mount process, an under running unit is mounted to the body unit. In an exterior parts attachment process, color body panels are attached to the body unit.

Abstract: A fuel assembly comprises a plurality of fuel rods supported by an upper tie plate and a lower tie plate respectively at each of upper end portion ad lower end portion, and a channel box surrounding a bundle of the fuel rods and the lower tie plate. The fuel assembly forms a natural uranium region at lower end portion of effective fuel length portion. A wall thickness at a lower thick wall region of the channel box is thicker than the wall thickness at a region disposed upwardly from the lower thick wall region and between corner portions of the channel box. An upper end of the lower thick wall region is disposed from an upper side of the lower tie plate and downwardly from an upper end of the natural uranium region. A wall thickness at the corner portion of the channel box is thicker than the wall thickness at a middle portion of the side wall between the corner positions at the region locating upward from the lower thick wall region.
