Abstract
A support structure for the core of a gas cooled high temperature reactor utilizes a plurality of compression members arranged in an annular space between a plurality of graphite blocks forming the roof, bottom and cylindrical side walls of a reflector surrounding the reactor core and a thermal shield surrounding the reflector. Each compression member comprises a compression body, a first bolt part having the configuration of a threaded rod, a threaded area on the inner surface of the compression body for receiving the threaded bolt part, a second bolt part having the configuration of a piston, a sliding area on the inner surface of the compression body for receiving the piston bolt part, and means for producing a compressive force between the piston bolt part and the compression body. The plurality of compression members are attached to the reflector and thermal shield by way of a plurality of ball-and-socket joints.
