Abstract

Control cluster guide devices, for light water cooled nuclear reactors, including housings. The reactor includes means outside the core for guiding control clusters (7) during their movements. The housings (12) are associated respectively with the several control clusters (7) and comprise plates which ensure discontinuous guidance at intermediate levels for the individual pencils and an associated spider, each housing including for continuous of the individual pencils, tubes which connect two tube plates for the pencils to pass through, which are proper to the housing, the one terminating it and the other forming a positioning flange on the core plate.
