ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for fuel handling in a nuclear reactor. The nuclear reactor has a reactor vessel comprising a reactor core with a plurality of fuel assemblies and control rods. A fuel pool is arranged adjacent to the reactor vessel. A group comprising at least a plurality of fuel assemblies is simultaneously lifted out of or into the reactor vessel with a single gripper, the gripper having a plurality of gripping devices. The group is transported between the reactor vessel and the fuel pool by means of the gripper.
