Abstract: The invention concerns a vehicle (1) with inclinable tracks in which an inclination movement of a propulsion unit (3) about its articulation axis (5) is assisted by reverse propulsion movement of the track (4) of the propulsion unit.The invention is applicable to the nuclear industry in particular.
Abstract: A liner (12) substantially smaller than the thickness of the tube plate (2) is inserted into the tube (8) so that, while one of its ends is in a region of the tube (8) inside the tube plate (2) and away from the entry face (2a), the other end of the liner (12) is beyond the exit face (2b) of the tube plate. Diametral expansion and roller expanding of the liner (12) are performed in the position which the latter occupies inside the tube (8).
Abstract: A safety device to be applied to the vertical displacement of, for example, the control rods of a nuclear reactor, comprises the combination of a stator placed on the outside upper part of an impervious, nonmagnetic cylinder within the inside of which a rotor is mounted about its shaft, free in axial translation, with the shaft rotatable with the rotor but fixed in translation, and with the rotation of the shaft transferred to a hollow threaded rod which will transfer rotation to a nut slidable vertically inside the cylinder, supporting the control rods therebelow; the rotor also controlling the opening and closing of a jaw for holding and releasing the hollow threaded rod.
