Abstract

Apparatus for homogenizing the circumferential temperatures of the vertically axes ferrule of a component passing through the upper slab of a nuclear reactor, wherein it comprises at least one assembly forming a heat pipe describing the entire circumference of said ferrule in order to ensure the homogenization of the temperatures of said ferrule level with the assembly, means for fixing the assembly or assemblies forming the heat pipe on the inner face of the ferrule and means for ensuring a thermal contact between the assembly or assemblies forming the heat pipe and the said ferrule.
