An insulation system has an insulation. A metal jacket is disposed about the insulation. The metal jacket has opposing free ends. A circumferential retaining band is disposed about the metal jacket and has a longitudinal length substantially less than a corresponding length of the metal jacket. The circumferential retaining band has a coupler joining a first end of the circumferential retaining band to an opposing second end of the circumferential retaining band and a clip spaced from the coupler along a radially inner surface of the retaining band. The clip is adapted to secure the opposing free ends of the metal jacket.

Banding system for insulation

A high capacity suction strainer for a nuclear reactor has a frame, a flow-through plenum, and a filter array. The flow-through plenum is mechanically mounted to the frame and has a plurality of inlets and an outlet. The filter array is also mechanically mounted to the frame and has a plurality of filter groupings in fluid communication with the inlet on the plenum.

A shielded metallic reflective insulation ('SMRI') assembly (10) incorporates a plurality of distinct layers. In a first embodiment, these layers are an inner layer (30), a first supporting layer (40), an insulation layer (60), and an outer layer (70). A second embodiment further includes a second supporting or barrier layer (50) between the first supporting layer (40) and the insulation layer (60). In a third embodiment, the first inner supporting layer (40) can replace both the inner layer (30) and second supporting layer (50).

The present invention relates a composite insulation and shielding article and a method of permanently installing the composite article onto a system to provide at least radioactive shielding. The composite shielding for permanently reducing radioactive radiation emanating from a system comprises at least one inner layer, at least one outer layer, and a shielding layer between said inner and outer layers, said shielding layer comprising a shield material that reduces said radioactive radiation.
