ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for assisting the loading of a reactor core with new and/or irradiated elongated fuel assemblies which includes inserting a fuel assembly with a fuel assembly carrier from a storage pit into a grid position of a reactor core with a refueling machine having propelling equipment, supplying an actual position of the fuel assembly carrier to the propelling equipment of the refueling machine during movement of the refueling machine between the storage pit and the reactor vessel, comparing the actual position of the fuel assembly carrier with a desired position of the fuel assembly carrier to find a deviation, and carrying out a correction of the deviation in the travelling movement of the refueling machine based upon the comparison.
