ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a means of connecting a primary pump (intended for sodium or the like) and the delivery pipe within a breeder reactor of the swimming-pool type, permitting limited movement of the pump and the pipe in relation to one another to occur, while also maintaining adequate sealing between low pressure areas and high pressure areas within said pump. The connecting component consists of a cylindrical sleeve (11) which, in a resting position, is situated along the same axis (1) as the delivery pipe for the pump. A cylindrical guide (3) which is fastened to the pump is fitted into the aforementioned pipe, and a sealing joint (13) is situated between the sleeve (11) and the guide (3). There is also a horizontal annular collar (12) which is fastened to the aforementioned sleeve (11), resting upon an annular rim (5) situated upon the upper flange (7) of the pipe (4). The lower surface of the collar (12) contains sockets (13') which are arranged so as to constitute a hydrostatic thrust block.
