Describes procedure for performing an evaluation of the mechanical design of fuel assemblies for light water-cooled commercial power reactors. It does not address the various aspects of neutronic or thermal-hydraulic performance except where these factors impose loads or constraints on the mechanical design of the fuel assemblies. It provides definition of design conditions, a list of functional requirements representing the general attributes of fuel assemblies a set of specific requirements for design, various potential performance problems and criteria aimed specifically at averting them.
