ASSEMBLY FOR A NUCLEAR REACTOR OF SFR TYPE WITH REVERSIBLE WELDLESS CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ASSEMBLY CASING AND AN ASSEMBLY ELEMENT INSERTED INTO THE CASING

摘要

An assembly to be inserted into a nuclear reactor, such as a liquid sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor SFR, includes an assembly hollow body, of elongate shape along a longitudinal axis X. The wall of the hollow body includes at least one open-ended opening. The assembly also includes an assembly element inserted at least in part into the hollow body. The assembly element includes at least one flexible blade of which the free end is shaped into a clip-fastening hook collaborating in clip-fastening with the open-ended opening from inside the hollow body, so as to connect the assembly element to the hollow body. The assembly also includes at least one removable structure for locking the flexible blade clip-fastened into the open-ended opening. The removable locking structure makes it possible to prevent the flexible blade from flexing and thus lock the connection between the assembly element and the hollow body.
