2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG.
In order to ensure that a large number of fuel rods 13 are held at predetermined intervals between the upper nozzle 15 and the lower nozzle 16, the support grids S... A plurality of S are provided in the fuel rod longitudinal direction. This support grid is usually used to arrange a large number of fuel rods and a control rod guide thimble tube or the like at a required position in parallel in a large number of cells partitioned by the grid to remove heat from the surface of the fuel rods that generate heat. It functions to maintain the necessary gap between the fuel rods and to guarantee the flow of the coolant. Generally, a thin plate of an iron-chromium-nickel superalloy is formed into a predetermined shape by press working, and FIG. A),
As shown in (B), an elastic projection 18 and a fixing projection 19 for elastically holding a fuel rod (not shown) in the cell 17 are provided.
It is manufactured by assembling a grid plate with slits in a vertical and horizontal lattice shape and joining and integrating the upper and lower portions of the intersection by various metallurgical joining means such as welding and brazing.

The key members pass through the cells formed in a square matrix, penetrate the support grid in two orthogonal directions, and are inserted by the number of the matrices. When the key member is rotated, one worker must stand on each side of the key member and rotate the key member from both ends so that the key member is not broken. That is, when the key member is inserted, the support grid is not fixed individually, so that the work can be performed. However, at the time of extraction, the support grid is fixed by the assembly fixing jig for fuel rod insertion. Therefore, even if the key member inserted horizontally can be removed by rotating it from both sides,
The removal of the key member in the vertical direction has a problem that the fixing jig hinders the rotation work from both sides, which makes the removal extremely difficult.
