See full text

Neutron absorber members for a control rod guide tube of a spent fuel assembly are provided as a tube split throughout a length thereof. In further examples, an insertion apparatus for inserting a neutron absorber member into a control rod guide tube of a spent fuel assembly includes an insertion tool base and an insertion tool rod. The insertion tool rod is removably secured within and extending from the insertion tool base according to a position of the control rod guide tube into which the neutron absorber is to be inserted. In further examples, a neutron absorber member retainer for a top nozzle of a spent fuel assembly is provided. The retainer includes a plate configured to inhibit a neutron absorber member inserted in a control rod guide tube from removal.
