Abstract
Apparatus for measuring the pitch between adjacent rods in a row of spaced-apart rods in a nuclear fuel assembly at selected points along the length of the rods, wherein the fuel assembly is relatively positioned angularly about its longitudinal center line with respect to a wand positionable to any selected point along the length of the rods carrying two spaced-apart, non-contact proximity sensors is transversely moved along the row of rods. An output signal of unique value is generated when the sensors are equally distant from a rod or adjacent rods. Means are provided for measuring the distance between the occurrence of the alternate unique signals as a measure of the pitch between adjacent rods.
