2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG.
In 4), a large number of fuel rods (13) are securely held between the upper nozzle (15) and the lower nozzle (16) at a predetermined interval, and sufficient performance is achieved without any trouble during the operation of the reactor. A plurality of support grids (S) ... (S) are provided in the longitudinal direction of the fuel rod so that they can be exhibited. In order to remove heat from the surface of the fuel rods that generate heat, the support lattices usually have a large number of fuel rods and control rod guide thimble tubes aligned in parallel in a large number of cells partitioned by the lattices. It serves to maintain a necessary gap between the fuel rods to ensure the flow of the coolant, and generally forms a thin plate of iron-chromium-nickel superalloy Inconel into a predetermined shape by pressing and 4 (A) and 4 (B), a grid having slits provided with elastic protrusions (18) and fixing protrusions (19) for elastically holding fuel rods (not shown) in the cells (17) It is manufactured by assembling the plates in a vertical and horizontal lattice shape and combining and joining the intersecting portions above and below by various metallurgical joining means such as welding or brazing.

By the way, the key members pass through the cells formed in a square matrix and penetrate the supporting grid in two directions orthogonal to each other, and are inserted by the number of the matrix. Then, when the key member is rotated, one worker must stand on each side of the key member so as not to break the key member and rotate the key member from both ends. That is, when the key member is inserted, the support grids are not fixed individually, so that the work can be performed, but at the time of extraction, the support grids are fixed by the assembly fixing jig for inserting the fuel rods. Therefore, even if the key member inserted in the horizontal direction can be removed by rotating it from both sides,
The removal of the key member in the up and down direction has a problem that the fixing jig interferes with the rotation work from both sides and the removal is very difficult.
