OSTI ID:4155964
A means of support was invented for the core (containing moderator units) of a gas-cooled reactor; it is constructed to expand with temperature without displacing or distorting the units. The units, arranged in vertical columns, are held together at the top by garter restraints of the same expansion coefficient, but at the bottom are left free to move radially outward with the steel support to which they are attached with spigots. Such a support arrangement gives less distortion of the core than if it had been tightly constrained throughout and/or supported on ball or roller bearings. (D.L.C.)
