Abstract
A shroud connection device for replacement core spray piping systems in a boiling water reactor includes replacement pipe, first and second coupling devices, and a rod. The pipe has a spherically shaped end, and includes a penetration extending through it from an inside portion to an outside portion. The first coupling device has first and second ends, the first end being dimensioned so as to receive the spherically shaped end of the pipe, and the second end abutting an outside portion of the shroud. The second coupling device has third and fourth ends, the third end abutting an inside portion of the shroud. The rod extends between the second coupling device and the penetration in the pipe.
