ABSTRACT:
A phase-separator assembly for a boiling-water nuclear reactor includes a steam-separator and a dryer. The steam separator and dryer are mechanically coupled so that relative vertical movement is permitted therebetween. The mechanical coupling limits this relative vertical movement. When installed in a reactor, the steam separator and dryer are independently supported. The dryer is supported so as to define a gap between the dryer and steam separator that optimizes their collective performance. When in storage, the dryer is not independently supported. Instead, the dryer is dropped to a minimum height above the steam separator, providing for compact storage.
