The present invention relates to a method and a device for fuel handling in a nuclear power plant of pressurized-water type comprising at least one fuel assembly (1) with a top part (5) and a bottom part (6), in its turn comprising a plurality of fuel rods (2). The fuel handling comprises extracting the fuel rods (2) in their entirety, or parts thereof, from the substantially vertically arranged fuel assembly (1) from above, either through the top part (5) of the fuel assembly (1) or through the bottom part (6) thereof. The fuel rods (2) extracted from the fuel assembly (1) are arranged to be turnable through 180 DEG around a transverse axis (t) by arranging them in a normally vertically arranged turnable rod magazine (16). |
