Abstract

A reinforcement assembly may be provided for a bracket configured to constrain a cooling pipe of a spent fuel pool of a nuclear reactor. The reinforcement assembly includes a base structure defining back slots, angled slots, side slots, and/or front slots. Back boss structures may be configured to slidably engage with the back slots of the base structure. Pipe boss structures may be configured to slidably engage with the angled slots of the base structure. Side clamps may be configured to slidably engage with the side slots of the base structure. Each of the side clamps may define a vertical slot. Vertical clamps may be configured to slidably engage with the vertical slot of each of the side clamps. Front clamps may be configured to slidably engage with the front slots of the base structure.
