NUCLEAR REACTOR
In order to make the core support of a nuclear reactor resistant to shocks that may be induced by the movements of the ship in which the reactor is mounted or by earthquakes in the case of a land sited reactor, the core support construction, which may rest on a supporting skirt passing through the wall of the pressure vessel and thus supporting also the vessel, is provided on its periphery with radially projecting keys sliding between bearing plates mounted within outwardly radially extending portions of the vessel wall; each of these latter portions forms on the outside of the vessel a sort of key sliding in its turn between further bearing plates mounted in lateral support organs secured to the inside of the radiation shielding structure.
