ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, which reinforces a shroud that is contained within a reactor vessel, is operable for reinforcement of the shroud in the event of cracking in the shroud. The apparatus comprises a reactor wall positioned surrounding the shroud. A beam is attached to and extends generally axially on the shroud for absorbing the forces generated by the cracking in the shroud, and a radial support is positioned between the beam and the wall of the reactor vessel for transmitting any forces absorbed by the beam to the wall.
