Hilton, G; Guttery, D R.C.

Pressure vessels for graphite-moderated reactors can be constructed with closely spaced access holes by forming part of it, usually its top, as a deep box grid sealed by a mild steel membrane with access pipes. In this way, an access point can be provided for each fuel element and control rod, thus eliminating the need for a manipulating machine and an increase in pressure vessel size. (D.L.C.)
