Core Plate Plugs

Reference # : Model No :

Core Plate Plugs are the solution for eliminating the potential for debris (FME) falling through the upper core plate flow holes of a nuclear reactor vessel. Any time fuel is removed from the core, debris has a direct path through the flow holes where it becomes difficult and time consuming to retrieve.

Benefits

• Made from 304 stainless steel.
• Prevents debris from falling down through the core plate flow hole.
• Plugs are maneuvered in-place using either nylon rope or 1/16 inch nylon coated stainless steel cable.

Limitations

The Core Plate Plug only consists of eight (8) standard conical-shaped plugs and one (1) wedge-shaped plug.

Comments

This of the core plate plug captures the debris, holding it in place for future removal while eliminating the possibility of it falling through a flow hole.
