ABSTRACT:
In a method for sealing a hollow, elongate member within a reactor pressure vessel of a nuclear reactor, a section of the elongate member may be removed to separate the elongate member into an upper portion and a lower portion with an opening there between. The lower portion may be attached to a surface of the reactor pressure vessel in-situ, so as to seal off a potential leakage path through the elongate member.
