MODERATOR AND REFLECTOR STRUCTURES FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Eng.
OSTI ID:4307084

A series of elastic bands built up of joined links is arranged around the structure. Each link consists of a nest of coaxial tubes, every second tube being provided with an exterior flange at one end and an interior flange at the other end, between which is mounted a flangeless tube. The tubes are then alternately under equal tension (flanged) and equal compression (flangeless), and the tension in the bands is transmitted as a centripetal load to the walls of the moderator and reflector structure.
