Apparatus for cutting a cruciform shaped radioactive control rod into three separate cut sections, the cruciform shaped radioactive control rod being of the type having four substantially equidistantly spaced sheaths extending from and along a large portion of the length thereof, each sheath containing at least one radioactive rod, and a velocity limiter at one end thereof, the apparatus including a first cutting device for cutting the velocity limiter away from the remainder of the control rod to form a first one of the cut sections; and a second cutting device for simultaneously cutting the remainder of the control rod along the lengthwise direction thereof and substantially transverse to the first cutting device, to form two chevron shaped sections as the remaining two of the cut sections.
