ABSTRACT:
The reactor vessel thread protector is a metal cover that is placed over the exposed stud, nut and washer projecting above the closure head to protect the threads from accidental corrosive leakage impingement emitted from mechanical seals on the top of the reactor vessel head. The stud protector includes a drip pan to collect any such fluid being emitted from the reactor vessel. Additionally, the reactor vessel stud thread protector will provide protection from accidental deformation to a stud due to operator maintenance around adjacent studs. The reactor vessel stud thread protector can be in the form of a cylinder which would cover a single stud bolt or a curved box having a rectangular cross-section that would cover a plurality of stud bolts.
