ABSTRACT:
Thermal sleeve assemblies for connecting a core spray line to a reactor safe end without welding. In one embodiment the thermal sleeve assembly includes a t-box junction, a thermal sleeve and a finger assembly. The t-box junction is attached core spray lines and the thermal sleeve. The finger assembly is coupled to the thermal sleeve and includes several fingers. The finger assembly includes a ring which is coupled to the thermal sleeve so that an opening in the ring is aligned with a bore extending through the thermal sleeve. The fingers are substantially L shaped and are attached to the ring so that when the ring is welded to the thermal sleeve second end the fingers extend from the thermal sleeve.
