ABSTRACT:
In a nuclear reactor of the type in which the vault has a roof in which inner and outer rotatable shields are mounted, coolant is supplied to the roof and shields via duct penetrations which extend in the plane of rotation and can be brought into alignment and connected together by slidable connectors when relative rotation between the shields and roof is not required. When such rotation is to be effected, the connectors can each be retracted into a respective duct so that rotation is not obstructed thereby.
