Abstract
An apparatus for the consolidation of spent nuclear fuel rods within a storage pool uses a robot in conjunction with long reach tools to remove spent fuel rods from a rod assembly and transfer them to a fuel rod consolidation canister. A movable curtain within the canister aligns and locates the rods for most efficient use of space. A tool guide plate enables the long reach rod grasping tool to locate each rod in the fuel cell accurately.
