NOVEL SEALING METHOD FOR A CHANNEL OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR WITH SOLID MODERATOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4157697
An improved method is described for sealing the channels of a gas-cooled nuclear reactor. This method suppresses fluid losses in the connection of the solid moderator blocks which are joined together with interlocking keys and keyways. A sealing piece made of the moderator material, having a hole coaxial with the channel, is interposed between the moderator blocks. The planes of contact of this sealing piece with the blocks are worked perpendicularly to the direction of minimum Wigner growth. The sealing piece coacts with a cylindrical surface relatively to the connection means in a male or female manner according to the principal directions of Wigner growth of the assembled blocks.
