ABSTRACT:
Cover-plug for the core of a fast neutron nuclear reactor, comprising a support-plate (6), a cylindrical shell (8) having a vertical axis fixed integrally to the support plate (6) and braces (14) which are transverse relative to the shell (8). Vertical tubes fixed to the support plate (6) at their upper part are joined to the braces (14), which consist of at least two conical webs (14) having their axes coincident with the axis of the shell (8). These conical webs have a top angle greater than 120.degree. and a diameter which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the shell (8), at their base. The brace (14a) situated in the lowest position in the shell (8) ensures the deflection of the reactor cooling fluid. The invention applies, in particular, to fast neutron nuclear reactors of the integrated type.
