ABSTRACT:
A capture row storage tray for holding rows of nuclear fuel pellets includes an array of laterally spaced elongated guide members extending parallel to one another, and stiffening members attached to the guide members for mounting them in the array. Pairs of adjacent guide members define elongated channels therebetween which extend parallel to one another. Each channel is open at one end for receiving a plurality of nuclear fuel pellets therethrough. The adjacent guide members of each pair have laterally spaced bottom portions attached to the stiffening members, laterally spaced and converging side portion with inclined surfaces for confining the pellets in the channel and for guiding and supporting the pellets into and at an end-to-end aligned relationship within the channel, and laterally spaced top portions which define an elongated open slot of a width less than the diameter of the pellets for capturing the pellets in the channel. The slot is located above and aligned with the pellets when in their end-to-end aligned relationship within the channel for permitting entry into the channel through the slot of a member for engaging the pellets to cause slidable movement thereof along the channel.
