The structure that supports the bellows assembly in the expansion compensator was analyzed. The structure was shown analytically to take the forces to which it will be subjected. The two critical conditions considered were: during operation when the compensator has a K--Na volume of 60 in./sup 3/ and a temperature of 800 deg F. During the operating condition the stresses are sufficiently low to prevent any appreciable relaxation due to creep. (auth)
