IMPROVEMENTS IN DEVICES FOR SUPPORTING AT LEAST THE SOLID MODERATOR OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR HAVING VERTICAL CHANNELS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4119994
A device for supporting the solid moderator of a reactor with vertical channels is designed so that a fluid-tight connection is made between a channel and the coolant circuit despite the Wigner growth. The device comprises a tubular member interposed between the bottom of the channel and the top of the coolant circuit and provided at its lower end a spherical bearing surface to make a fluid-tight connection while permitting small relative angular displacements between the member and the circuit. Several configurations of this device are presented. (D.L.C.)
