METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MITIGATING VIBRATION IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPONENT.

摘要

A device (300) is provided formitigating vibration in acomponentofa nuclear reactor by removing vibration energy. To reduce vibration in the component, a device operatively connected to the component and including a magnet (340) may be actuated within a conductive cylinder (330). This actuation may generate one or more eddy currents providing a damping function for removing vibration energy from the component, so as to alter vibration characteristics of the component..
