Patent ·
OSTI ID:4046927
A restraint for use in applying a restraint force to a nuclear reactor moderator-reflector structure is described. The restraint consists of tie bars held in tension, cruciform housing for linking the bars together in a diamond pattern while allowing movement between the bars and housings, and pads on the housings for applying radial restraint to the moderator-reflector structure. The moderator-reflector structure is contained in a containment vessel and the tie bars are suspended from a box grid within the vessel. (N.W.R.)
