ABSTRACT:
An upwardly convex resilient annular strainer, fixed to the secondary core support base plate in a PWR, bends to remain in contact with the lower hemispherical head section of the pressure vessel as the gap between the internals and the lower hemispherical head section varies in size with reactor temperature to prevent debris from lodging in the gap where it could lead to reactor damage.
