Abstract
A device for handling fuel, breeder or absorber rods of nuclear reactors, particularly liquid-metal cooled nuclear reactors, with a hoisting unit situated on a slotted rotary cover and with a remote control grip for grasping the rods, and means for moving the hoisting unit along the slot. Thus, rotation of the cover and movement of the hoisting unit along the slot permits the grip to be moved into position for transfer of any desired rod-shaped member. The slot in the reactor rotary cover as well as the handling device are enclosed by a shielding box.
