Abstract
A support structure for a nuclear reactor is disclosed comprising a primary support element connected with the roof of the pressure vessel and a secondary support element joined with the primary support element. The thermal roof shield and the roof reflector are connected to the secondary support element.
Claims7
A gas cooled high temperature nuclear reactor comprising:
- a pressure vessel having a vessel roof;
- a reactor core within said pressure vessel;
- a pile of spherical fuel elements in said reactor core;
- at least one primary support member extending from said vessel roof;
- a thermal roof shield supported from said primary support member;
