ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for thermally insulating nuclear reactor primary vessels. The apparatus includes a plurality of cylindrical reflective metal plates located within the primary vessel for thermally insulating the side walls of the vessel from the temperatures generated by the reactor. The reflective plates are radially spaced apart and are positioned in an annular inverted U-shaped chamber that traps inert gas around the reflective plates. The plates and the annular chamber insulate the side walls of the primary vessel from the temperatures generated by the reactor.
