ABSTRACT:
A grid key for interior grid cells. A rectangular main body portion is bent near the middle at approximately a 90 degree angle. Two tabs that are flush with the main body portion extend outward in opposite directions from one end and along a portion of the length of the main body portion. The opposing side of the tabs is tapered at a 45 degree angle back toward the main body portion. The main body portion has a thickened section that coincides with the tabs. The thickened section is wedged between the soft stops of an individual interior grid cell to retract the stops and allow loading of a fuel rod.
