Abstract
In a method and device for facilitating a uniform loading condition for a plurality of support members supporting a steam dryer in a nuclear reactor, the device may include at least one or more actuators. Each actuator may be provided between a corresponding support member and a lower bearing surface of a portion of the dryer for lifting its corresponding dryer portion lower bearing surface relative to the support member. The device may include at least one or more measurement units. Each measurement unit may correspond to a given support member for measuring a displacement value between the corresponding support member and the lower bearing surface of its corresponding dryer portion.
