A deviee is designed for transmitting laterai shoek loads from the biological shield to thc core support grid and for permlttlng relative radial movement between the pressure vessel and both the support grid and the biologlcal shield. The devlee eomprlses a plurallty of radlal slldlng key and keyway means spaced around the pressure vessel and arranged to lnterconnect the pressure vessel both wlth the biological shield and wlth the support grid. The device is useful for gas-eooled, graphlte-moderated reaetors subjected to earthquake conditions. (D. L.C.)
