Abstract
Apparatus for suspending thermal shielding within a nuclear reactor. The apparatus includes a plurality of horizontally deformable, interconnected links which form a chain and suspend a series of horizontally disposed equally spaced thermally reflective plates from beneath the upper horizontal boundary of a nuclear reactor. The deformable links minimize heat transfer and accommodate both seismic and differential thermal expansion of the reflective plates.
