Abstract:
A method for restraining a sleeve lining a tube passing through a nuclear reactor pressure vessel is provided. The method includes attaching in situ a radial protrusion on an external surface of the sleeve; and attaching a collar to an end of the tube and coupling the radial protrusion with the collar to retain the thermal sleeve in position.
