Abstract

970,589. Reactor pressure vessels. FOSTER WHEELER Ltd. Oct. 5,1962 [Aug. 31,1961], No. 31399/61. Heading G6C. A pressure vessel for a pressurized water nuclear reactor has one or more bores through its wall for the reception of cartride type electrical heaters, there being a closed-end tube disposed coaxially with each bore and welded to the wall, and into which said heaters extend. As seen in Fig. 1, the heater 12 is a large clearance fit in the vessel wall 10 and a close fit in the heater tube 16. A seating 18, 20 is prepared in the wall and the heater tube butt welded into position. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown) for use on pressure vessels having a thin stainless steel lining inside the main straight carbon steel wall, the stainless steel lining is thickened locally to accomodate a weld preparation as shown in Fig. 1.
