| 4221094 | Reflective insulation assembly A highly flexible reflective insulation inner assembly is provided which spaces a pair of flexible reflective insulation sheets while also sealing a volume of space therebetween. To accomplish this a corrugated strip of material is mounted on its edge bet... | 09/09/1980 |
| 4188761 | Spacer-sealer strip for reflective insulation assemblies A highly flexible spacer-sealer for reflective insulation inner assemblies is provided which spaces a pair of flexible reflective insulation sheets or liners while also sealing a volume of space therebetween. To accomplish this a corrugated strip of mater... | 02/19/1980 |
| 4165552 | Soot blower drive mechanism The carriage of a retracting soot blower has a driven shaft rotatable to move the carriage along a supporting frame to project and retract a lance tube and to simultaneously rotate the lance tube. The driven shaft is driven from a drive shaft powered by a... | 08/28/1979 |
| 4141614 | Electrical connecting means A flexible supporting sheet formed of insulating material has "printed circuit"-type adherent conductors thereon which are flexible with the sheet and which are so disposed that contact parts which are also carried by the sheet, and which are arranged to ... | 02/27/1979 |
| 4082610 | Snubber assembly for a control rod drive A snubber cartridge assembly is mounted to the nozzle of a control rod drive mechanism to insure that the snubber assembly will be located within the liquid filled section of a nuclear reactor vessel whenever the control rod drive is assembled thereto. Th... | 04/04/1978 |
| 4076144 | Top closure for control rod drive for nuclear reactor A removable top closure and venting assembly for the tubular housing of a control rod drive includes a mounting ring threadably inserted in the upper end of the housing, a fluid-sealing closure member beneath the mounting ring and which is mounted in and ... | 02/28/1978 |
| 4068163 | Reed switch oscillator assembly for a position indicating system The position of a control rod located within a nuclear reactor is sensed by a position indicating system utilizing a series of self-exciting reed switch oscillator assemblies mounted along the path of control rod travel. Each reed switch oscillator assemb... | 01/10/1978 |
| 4064451 | Hysteresis compensated reed switch assembly for a position indicating system The position of a control rod located within a nuclear reactor is sensed by a position indicating system utilizing low hysteresis reed switch assemblies. Each reed switch assembly includes a reed switch having an alternating magnetic flux field applied th... | 12/20/1977 |
| 4052089 | Self-adjusting seal assembly A self-adjusting seal assembly is formed to fit around a member extending from a structure which is thermally insulated with insulation panels but which leaves a gap around the insulated member. The self-adjusting seal assembly covers this gap and automat... | 10/04/1977 |
| 4033383 | Thermal insulation assembly An all-metallic thermal insulation assembly is constructed from a series of layers each having a plurality of spaced corrugated sheets. Each of the sheets is formed from material having a thickness t and the sheets are so profiled as to provide a moment o... | 07/05/1977 |
