A method of remotely inspecting a nuclear fuel assembly stored in a cell within a rack in a lower portion of a spent fuel pool , the method comprising the steps of: supporting a camera within the spent fuel pool above the rack focused above the cell in which the nuclear fuel assembly is stored, the camera having an output which is transmitted to a processing apparatus outside of the spent fuel pool ; fastening a pressure transducer to a long handled fuel assembly handling tool at a fixed distance above a connector on the fuel assembly handling tool that attaches to the fuel assembly and below a point on the fuel assembly handling tool that will remain submerged within the spent fuel pool when the fuel assembly handling tool raises the fuel assembly substantially completely out of the rack , the pressure transducer having an output representative of the depth within the spent fuel pool at the pressure transducer elevation, which pressure transducer output is transmitted to the processing apparatus ; lowering the connector to the fuel assembly ; attaching the connector to the fuel assembly ; raising the fuel assembly out of the cell with the fuel assembly handling tool as the camera records a portion of the fuel assembly in view of the camera and transmits an image of the portion of the fuel assembly in view as at least part of the camera output to the processing apparatus ; correlating, in the processing apparatus , the pressure transducer output to an elevation of the image on the fuel assembly ; and displaying a representation of the fuel assembly at a location remote from the spent fuel pool , with the image superimposed on the representation at the elevation. supporting a camera within the spent fuel pool above the rack focused above the cell in which the nuclear fuel assembly is stored, the camera having an output which is transmitted to a processing apparatus outside of the spent fuel pool ; fastening a pressure transducer to a long handled fuel assembly handling tool at a fixed distance above a connector on the fuel assembly handling tool that attaches to the fuel assembly and below a point on the fuel assembly handling tool that will remain submerged within the spent fuel pool when the fuel assembly handling tool raises the fuel assembly substantially completely out of the rack , the pressure transducer having an output representative of the depth within the spent fuel pool at the pressure transducer elevation, which pressure transducer output is transmitted to the processing apparatus ; lowering the connector to the fuel assembly ; attaching the connector to the fuel assembly ; raising the fuel assembly out of the cell with the fuel assembly handling tool as the camera records a portion of the fuel assembly in view of the camera and transmits an image of the portion of the fuel assembly in view as at least part of the camera output to the processing apparatus ; correlating, in the processing apparatus , the pressure transducer output to an elevation of the image on the fuel assembly ; and displaying a representation of the fuel assembly at a location remote from the spent fuel pool , with the image superimposed on the representation at the elevation. <EOS>
