Abstract
Apparatus ( ) for installation onto an exposed end ( ) of an instrumentation connector ( ) in a nuclear reactor, to protect the exposed end of the connector from a surrounding body of liquid. The apparatus includes a shell ( ) with a closed first end ( ) formed from a liquid resistant shell material, a second end ( ), and a skirt portion ( ) extending therebetween. The second end has an opening ( ) for insertion onto the exposed end of the connector. A compression operable seal ( ) is positioned in a seal groove adjacent an inside surface ( ) of the skirt portion and adjacent the first end. A connection means ( ) on the internal surface is adapted to matingly engage an external surface ( ) on the connector, and to move said shell material towards the exposed end of the connector when the apparatus is moved to the installed condition. When the apparatus is in the installed condition, the shell material compresses the seal against the external surface to form a substantially leakproof barrier between the exposed end of the connector and the body of liquid.
