ABSTRACT:
A removable and reusable cap for fuel rod ends to prevent grid damage during loading permits fuel end configurations to match utility's special tooling for fuel assembly repair and reconstitution. The elastomeric transitory fuel rod guidance ends expand over a flange and temporarily snap into place in a groove in the fuel rod end to provide a tapered guiding surface.
