Abstract

Abstract A clamping device for nuclear reactor cores wherein the force of gravity, acting upon weights and through a mechanical linkage, is made to exert a radial inwardly directed force of constant magnitude on the reactor core. Cams of mechanical supporting members are used to hold the weight in a upward position when a clamping force is not desired as for example during refueling.
