Abstract

A heat-insulating lining for a fast reactor shield slab comprises a set of panels each consisting of a mat of superposed wire mesh or fabric elements enclosed within at least one metallic casing which is secured against the shield slab. The end walls of the casing are formed by sealing plates applied against the panels and the side walls are formed by at least two interengaged L-section members so arranged that one flange of each member covers the edge of one sealing plate whilst the other two flanges leave a narrow lateral gap which forms a capillary seal.
