A nuclear reactor includes a reactor pressure vessel 12 and a core barrel 14, contained within the reactor pressure vessel 12. The reactor 10 further includes a single vertical support 16, 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 support 16 to provide lateral support to the core barrel 14. This arrangement will result in reduced stress arising from the temperature fluctuations. |
