Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. A control rod blade for a boiling water reactor,wherein the control rod blade comprises a free edge portion with a recess having an opening and a wall surface, which comprises a plurality of outlets, arranged in a row in the wall surface, for channels, which are arranged to receive an absorber material and a cover element arranged to be attached along the free edge portion of the control rod blade,which cover element comprises a cover portion arranged to seal the opening of the recess and a support portion which has a contact surface arranged to, in a mounted state, abut a bottom surface of the wall surface in the recess and to form at least one passage between the outlets of the channels in the recess,the cover portion further being arranged to form an external end surface of the control rod blade in a mounted state,wherein the support portion has a width which is less than the width of the recess and the outlet of the channels such that at least one passage between the outlets of the channels in the recess is formed, characterized in that the support portion has a substantially plane contact surface which is arranged to abut a corresponding plane bottom surface in the recess, andwherein the cover element has a substantially T-.shaped cross-section profile. 2. The control rod blade according to claim 1, wherein the support portion has a continuous extension along a whole length of the cover element. 3. The control rod blade according to claim 1, wherein the bottom surface is shaped as a groove in areas that extend between the outlets of the channel. 4. The control rod blade according to claim 3, wherein the groove has a width which substantially corresponds to the width of the support portion. 5. The control rod blade according to claim 1, wherein the cover element is attached to the edge portion of the control rod blade by two longitudinal weld joints. 6. The control rod blade according to claim 1, wherein said absorber material consists of solid absorber bodies. 7. The control rod blade according to claim 6, wherein said solid absorber bodies comprise boron carbide. 8. The control rod for a boiling water reactor comprising at least a control rod blade according to claim 1.
