ABSTRACT:
In order to transfer a bundle of rods of or from a nuclear fuel assembly into a storage case, the bundle is placed in a waiting position above a cassette provided with recesses. The rods are then introduced into the recesses by lowering them by gravity. When the cassette is full, it is brought into the extension of the case by interposing a transformation member. By simultaneously exerting a thrust on all the rods, the latter are compactly transferred into the case.
