ABSTRACT:
The device comprises a rod (20) on which is mounted a means (22, 24, 25) for the support and displacement of a work tool which is movable in an axial direction of the rod (20) and in two directions perpendicular to this axial direction. The tool comprises tongs consisting of two arms which are articulated together about a spindle fixed on the means (22, 24, 25) for support and displacement in a direction parallel to the axis of the rod (20). The tongs comprise end jaws which are capable of gripping a fuel rod. The gripping of the tongs is controlled remotely and the positioning of these tongs on a fuel rod to be removed is checked by means of a video camera (26).
