ABSTRACT:
A plumb nozzle for a nuclear fuel assembly having asymmetric loading of the fuel mass comprising a raised protuberance on the handling tool gripper finger engaging surface of the nozzle to compensate for skewing caused by the asymmetric fuel loading. The protuberance is positioned to be engaged by a gripper finger during handling, loading, or unloading of the fuel assemblies and extends downwardly a predetermined distance with respect to the other gripper finger engaging surfaces so that the fuel assembly hangs plumb.
