Abstract
A captive fastener is joinable to a stud for being retained in a nuclear reactor. The fastener includes a head fixedly joinable to the stud, and at least one spring clip extending perpendicularly from the head and having a proximal end fixedly joined thereto, and a distal end in the form of hook for retaining the fastener in the reactor. The hook is resiliently deflectable laterally relative to the head for allowing assembly and disassembly.
