Zusammenfassung:A nozzle dam for providing a fluid-tight inflatable seal across a primary fluid nozzle in the plenum of a nuclear steam generating vessel includes an elongated shaft coupled at one end thereof to an anchor assembly frictionally engageable with the inner surface of the nozzle to anchor the dam in place and a fluid-impermeable inflatable seal coupled to the shaft and closing the nozzle and frictionally engageable with the inner surface thereof to form a fluid-tight seal. The dam may include a foldable tripod centering mechanism and a shaft tensioning tool.
