A control rod/fuel support grapple is provided which is capable of pulling up simultaneously a control rod and a fuel support from a reactor and also uncoupling the control rod and control rod drive mechanism. The control rod/fuel support grapple comprises a control rod holding unit for holding a control rod's hoist handle, a fuel support holding unit for holding a fuel support, and a coupling releasing unit or uncoupling the control rod and the control rod drive mechanism, coupled by virtue of a spud coupling. These three units are attached to a main body frame which is lowered into a reactor pressure vessel.
