ABSTRACT:
A deep beam head for a nuclear reactor and an improved reactor containing such a head where the upper horizontal support plate of a calandria in the reactor forms a sealing plate for the reactor vessel. The sealing plate has a ring member about the upper periphery thereof that is secured to the top of the pressure vessel cylindrical wall and reinforcing members extend across the sealing plate and are welded to the ring, while transverse cross-members extend across the sealing plate and are welded to the reinforcing members. The calandria may be removed from the reactor while attached to the ring member to provide ready access to the reactor internals.
