ABSTRACT:
Shielding for technicians working around a nuclear reactor during the refueling process is provided by permanently mounting a shield support around the reactor shroud and temporarily hanging shielding members such as lead panels from the support. The shield support includes a permanent rail encircling the shroud and swingout arms which are pivotably mounted to the permanent rail. During use the shielding members are positioned adjacent the swingout arms by a stud tensioner hoist, and the swingout arms are pivoted outward to receive the shielding members. When installed, the edges of the shielding members overlap.
