IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO LARGE PRESSURE VESSELS, ESPECIALLY NUCLEAR REACTOR PRESSURE VESSELS
Abstract
A description is given of the design and fabrication of a large spherical pressure vessel of which for greater strength the lower portion of the shell is dished and bottom supported. An internal structure is located within the shell and it is bottom supported. An example of such a pressure vessel is that of a gas cooled graphite moderated reactor having a core of such size and weight that the dimensions of the shell required to accommodate it are large. The pressure vessel shell is fabricated by butt-welding, and the internal structure is also attached to the shell by the butt-weld process. (N.W.R.)
