ABSTRACT:
A reactor pressure vessel is supported at its bottom end by an inverted frusto-conical surface concentric with the axis of the vessel and fixed to its bottom, this surface slidably resting on an upright frusto-conical surface which is also concentric with the vessel's axis. Radial thermal movements of the reactor's bottom results in diameter changes in the conical surface fixed to its bottom so that this surface by cam action moves up and down on the other surface, and with a properly defined angularity, compensates for the vertical thermal expansion of the vessel which occurs simultaneously with its radial expansion.
