Marskell, W G; McNaughton, D

Thermal insulation suitable for use on the internal surfaces of reactor pressure vessels may be made in the form of a hollow metal casing with the space between opposite faces divided into partitions containing heat- and radiationresistant inert bodies. The metal may be stainless steel, and the bodies may be granular graphite. Such casings may be used in gas-cooled graphite- moderated reactors. The problem of insulating a control nozzle in such a reactor is treated. (D.L.C.)
