Vessel Adapters are non-sparking device designed to mix volatile materials in open vessels at the bench-scale level. These are suitable for mixing pyrophoric materials. These include flexible drive cable. It is suitable for use in open vessels and beakers. These are manufactured from high-grade materials. It accepts 10 MM glass, coated or metal shafts and standard agitators.
Vessel internals provide the structural support for the core and fuel located within the reactor vessel. It also provides for the alignment of the core with instrumentation. It serves as a shield to protect the reactor vessel from radiation damage. It is fabricated from austenitic stainless steel. It is comprised of two basic components: core support barrel assembly and upper guide structure assembly. In addition to the two assemblies, the vessel internals include a flow skirt. The flow skirt is a cylindrical structure having a large number of holes and located between the core support barrel and lower head of the reactor vessel.
