Abstract

A thermal insulation structure mounted within the annular space between the primary vessel and the inner vessel of a liquid metal cooled fast reactor is constituted by a plurality of heat-insulating elements extending circumferentially around the common axis of the two vessels and consisting of half-casings each formed by two interengaged L-section members packed with flexible and compressible heat-insulating material.
