ABSTRACT:
A wall structure for a nuclear reactor containment housing or pool is formed by at least two metal concrete forms or panels, each of which has a rectangularly shaped main or base plate of a stainless steel material constituting inner liner portions of the wall structure. Projected laterally from the base plate is a peripheral flange that includes an outer portion, of a dimensional size substantially equal to the dimensional size of the base plate, and an inwardly inclined inner leg portion that is fixed to the base plate inwardly from the side edges of the base plate. An outer portion of the peripheral flange of one of the panels is connectable in a side-by-side relation with an outer portion of the peripheral flange of an other panel whereby to form a channel or passage therebetween of a substantially triangular shaped in cross sectional area defined by adjacent inclined inner leg portions of the peripheral flanges and adjacent side portions of the panel base plates, the edges of which are fluid sealed as by weldments. Any radioactive material that may leak through the fluid sealed edges of the main plates is directed through the wall structure to a leak detection zone.
