ABSTRACT:
In order to reduce the time and difficulty of disassembling a seal arrangement which includes a Grayloc flange, in a cramped radioactive environment, the Grayloc hub is modified to include a step bore which receives a seal arrangement and a retaining nut which presses the seal into engagement with an inner wall portion of the hub and outer wall portion of an ICI (in core instrument) supporting column. A loading ring is threaded onto a portion of the column. Bolts associated with the ring are screwed down onto a belleville washer which is disposed between the loading ring and the top of the retaining nut for maintaining a desired amount of load on the seals irrespective of thermal variations.
