ABSTRACT:
In order to eliminate the need to weld, drill or otherwise machine a shroud structure which is used to surround a plurality of fuel assemblies in a nuclear reactor, a support ring which either seats on top of the upper edge of the shroud, or is formed in multiple segments and is clamped to the side wall of the shroud, have hangers which are rigid therewith on which support hooks can be detachably mounted. The hooks are arranged to be engagable with the inner peripheral wall of the RPV in a manner which prevents lateral movement of the shroud within the pressure vessel.
