Description

  • Content Description: The effort in the reactor cover study area resulted in design recommendations for the vessel support, the deck, and the bearing and seals. Sixteen configurations of bearings and seals were examined as part of this study. The selected concepts use a double inflatable seal plus a sodium dip seal. Six different deck configurations were considered as part of this study. The most attractive of these concepts is the conical deck. Five different vessel support concepts were considered. Of these, the U ring appears to be the most attractive. Significant findings are the following: (1) verified that passive cooling of the deck and support lead to acceptable temperatures; (2) the assembly tolerances can be loosened for lower fabrication cost and easier operation while meeting positional and sealing requirements; (3) determined that the conical deck is the most effective deck configuration; (4) determined that the U ring is the most effective vessel support configuration; (5) selected a bearing and seal approach that gives effective gas sealing, adequate control of sodium frost, and easy maintenance.
