топливная кассета

Помимо угрозы ядерной аварии, повреждения **топливных сборок** вело к значительным издержкам производства энергии, т. к. реакторы приходилось постоянно останавливать для замены испорченных **топливных кассет**.
Can a "топливная сборка" and a "топливная кассета" both mean "fuel assembly" in this sentence? Multitran also offers "fuel magazine" for "топливная кассета" but from what I can tell (https://www.google.tl/patents/US5319684) , a magazine is part of the assembly, so it can't be both at once.

fuel assembly
"Fuel rod" is NOT the equivalent of "топливная кассета".
It is the assembly of rods, not the rod itself.
"Топливная кассета" is often used interchangeably with "топливная сборка". In the case of RBMK fuel, the full assembly consists of two sets of fuel rods, usually called 'fuel bundles'.
Never heard anyone use the term "fuel cassette".

Yes, that's how nuclear engineers around me have been using them for at least the past 20 years. "Кассета" may be outdated somewhat, but still heard.

Note from asker:
| So you're saying that топливная кассета and топливная сборка are interchangeable terms? |

fuel rod
Fuel rod
A long, slender, zirconium metal tube containing pellets of fissionable material, which provide fuel for nuclear reactors. Fuel rods are assembled into bundles called fuel assemblies, which are loaded individually into the reactor core.

"В технологический канал на специальной подвеске вводится тепловыделяющая топливная кассета (рис. 2.21), представляющая собой последовательное соединение двух тепловыделяющих сборок твэлов длиной 3,5 м каждая. Каждая тепловыделяющая сборка содержит 18 стержневых твэлов (рис. 2.22), которые дистанционируются и крепятся к центральной несущей трубе десятью стальными дистанционирующими решетками сотового типа."
