Gas pressure may expel fuel elements from the horizontal coolant channels. Then a new string of elements has to be introduced and the discharged elements have to be reprocessed. In order to prevent this happening, retuining devices are attached by a coupling at one end of the coupled string of feel elements and hooks at the other end engnging the face of the reactor core. The hooks are in the form of pivoted cranks with a locking member to lock them in position. These members can be unlocked to release the cranks from their engagement with their reactor core. (auth)
