A method of inspecting an operation of sealed closure by welding an end opening of a filling channel axially traversing an upper plug for closing the cladding of a fuel rod for a nuclear reactor, the cladding of the rod containing a plurality of pellets of nuclear fuel stacked in the axial direction of the cladding and two closure plugs, one of the plugs or the upper plug being traversed axially by the channel for filling the cladding of the rod with an inert gas and the sealed closure by welding of the filling channel of the upper plug being carried out after filling the cladding with inert gas, in a filling apparatus, by melting central part of the end of the upper plug adjacent to the opening of the filling channel, this method allowing for inspection of the conditions for implementing and carrying out the sealed closure of the upper plug by welding, efficiently and without extending the time needed for the manufacture of the fuel rod.
