Abstract

A device for trapping migrating bodies within the steam generator or secondary circuit of a nuclear installation is constituted by grids (6) placed between the upper part of the tube casing (8) and the pressure casing (7) of the steam generator. The meshes of the grids are so dimensioned as to prevent the passage of objects liable to jam between the tubes of the tube bundle of the primary circuit.
