ABSTRACT:
A vibration mitigation apparatus and method of reducing vibration in a reactor component are described, which may reduce the amplitude of vibration in the reactor component. The apparatus may be provided on the reactor component to reduce the amplitude of vibration of the component as the component and apparatus are subjected to a harmonic excitation that generally may occur during reactor operations.
