Abstract
A device for trapping migrating bodies in nuclear power station steam generators or boilers is provided to prevent them from jamming between the generator tubes. The device, in the form of a grating or grid, is placed above a horizontal plate to which are fixed the upper ends of the pipes containing cyclone separators. It defines passages, whose largest dimensions are smaller than the minimum distance separating the tubes.
