ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor includes a reactor pressure vessel12and a core barrel14, contained within the reactor pressure vessel12. The reactor10further includes a single vertical support16, for transmitting vertical load from the core barrel to the reactor pressure vessel. Further, lateral support means is provided at an elevation which is above that of the support16to provide lateral support to the core barrel14. This arrangement will result in reduced stress arising from the temperature fluctuations.
