OSTI ID:4843854
With a view to reducing as far as possible the wall thickness of a nonspherical pressure vessel for a nuclear reactor enclosing an undivided space, the vessel wall is composed of two portions of a sphere, each greater than a hemisphere, connected together at their open edges preferably by welding. The roughly egg-shaped vessel formed in this way is reinforced at the place of the welding by a strengthening ring. Instead of connecting the two sphere portions together directly, other sphere portions, all of the same radius and having two circular openings, may be intercalated and adjacent sphere portions welded together at the edges of the openings; the weldings may be strengthened with rings in the above described manner. In this way a pressure vessel is obtained approximately cylindrical in shape, but having about the same radius of curvature at all points of its surface. (NPO)
