IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PRESSURE VESSELS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4781056
A reactor pressure vessel is described which has an access hole for each fuel channel. The vessel comprises a basic pant-spherical section, a subsidiary part-spherical section thicker than the basic section and of smaller diameter, and an intermediate section joining the two sections. The subsidiary section is at the top of the vessel when top charging is employed, and it is perforated to provide access holes into the vesael. Dimensions are given for a pressure vessel designed in this way to withstand working pressures up to 300 psi; in comparison, a spherical vessel of the same core space and strengthened in the region of the standpipes up to the thickness of the subsidiary section would withstand only 218 psi.
