ABSTRACT:
A flexible, fabric reinforced, elastomeric bag is used to contain water for neutron shielding in nuclear reactor installations. The lower surface of the bag is provided with a series of anchoring strips to secure the bags in various installation locations where shielding is desirable. The anchoring strips are adapted to be peeled from the lower surface of the bag and to sever or slit the bag wall to quickly release the water contained in the bag, thereby preventing the bag from acting as a missile due to forces applied to the bag in the event of an explosion or accidental pipe break from beneath the bag.
