-35- ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A system constructed of three tools for manipulating fuel rods with a nuclear fuel assembly is disclosed. The individual tools are adapted for displacing fuel rods upwardly and downwardly along their longitudinal axes and for rotating same 360° without having to remove the fuel rods from their location within a nuclear fuel assembly. The individual tools are operative on-site from a remote location while the nuclear fuel assembly is maintained underwater in a spent fuel pool. By manipulating the fuel rods, those areas previously hidden from visual inspection such as within grids may be inspected for defects and the like.
