FIELD: in- service handling of nuclear reactor fuel assemblies. SUBSTANCE: manipulator has gripper built up of at least eight gripping arms and provided with cross-arm; hinged to the latter are levers kinematically linked through common shaft with drive; it also has fuel assembly handling unit built up of cross-arm and carriage mounted set of blocks joined through carriage mounted cables to drive, and holding unit built up of cross-arm mounted vertical pins looking upward towards carriage and provided with annular conical ribs with their conical tops up; carriage mounts guide bushings to receive mentioned pins; upper parts of guide bushings carry pawls in the form of ratchets engaging annular conical ribs; provided in lower part of cross-arm are locking pins; bushing guides are placed on fuel assembly walls to receive mentioned pins; ratchets are made in the form of spring-loaded electromagnet cores; soft polymer (caprolactam) plates are attached to inner surfaces of gripping arms. EFFECT: improved safety of fuel assemblies during their handling. 3 cl, 5 dwg
