Zusammenfassung:An ICM housing welded to a wall of a reactor pressure vessel in operation is provided with a molten metal layer containing 4 wt. % or more delta ferrite at a portion of an inner peripheral surface thereof which corresponds to a weld. A sleeve made of stainless steel is located at the competent portion of the inner peripheral surface of the ICM housing stainless steel so as to be molten by means of a TIG welding machine to form the molten metal layer. The molten metal layer prevents stress corrosion cracking of the ICM housing.
