RETAINING BAND FOR THE MODERATOR STRUCTURE IN NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4843850

In order to apply a retaining force to the moderator and reflector structure comprising a plurality of blocks, a retaining band is provided which is a series of links jointed together. These links are in connection with compression shoes that apply the retaining force to the said structure and are rotatable about a pivot mounted in an intermediate element pivotally mounted in its turn on the reactor shell and constituting at the same time a link of the said band. These intermediate elements alternate with ordinary links in the retaining band. Each compression shoe is coupled with its adjacent shoes by tension springs. (NPO)
