Abstract

A series of heat-insulating panels each consisting of a mat of superposed wire-fabric or wire-mesh elements enclosed within a casing formed of two parallelepipedal metallic half-boxes engaged one inside the other is applied against the sole-plate of a fast reactor shield slab. The lower half-box is of slightly larger size than the upper half-box, a narrow gap being thus formed between the opposite lateral faces of the two half-boxes and a narrow gap being also formed between adjacent casings, the gaps being intended to form capillary sealing joints.
