ABSTRACT:
Removable cruciforms are selectively installed at predetermined, spaced elevations within ice baskets associated with a nuclear power system, each ice basket having a generally cylindrical sidewall with plural, annular retaining rings secured therein at predetermined, spaced elevations, each cruciform being installed at predetermined, axially displaced elevations, engaging a corresponding annular retaining ring. Each cruciform comprises a pair of brackets joined together between parallel base portions by respective support plate assemblies and slide plates in telescoping, sliding relationshp, defining with the base portions, a spring housing of generally square configuration within which a generally C-shaped spring is received. A pair of legs extends integrally from the longitudinal edges of the base portion of each bracket, angularly disposed so as to extend radially within the ice basket. A cruciform is compressible to permit axial translation of the cruciform, while horizontally oriented, through the ice basket. When in position at a desired elevation for installation, the cruciform is released from compression to permit the C-shaped spring to expand and engage the legs of the brackets with the associated retaining ring.
