ABSTRACT:
An underwater shock control system, including apparatus and method, the apparatus comprising one or more large underwater cylinder shock or dynamic load dampeners especially adapted to protect against seismic loads (particularly in a high gamma radiation environment) while allowing movement due to temperature. Each underwater cylinder is mounted between underwater equipment to be stabilized and underwater support structure. Each underwater cylinder uses the surrounding water as the working hydraulic fluid which water is drawn in and expelled through various orifices in the cylinder by relative movement between the equipment and support structure.
