The aim of this thesis is to address issues concerning the sealing of the lid for the primary collector within the steam generator (SG) of the nuclear power plant VVER 440. These steam generators are sealed in the original design by nickel rings. Modifying the existing method of sealing by a new type of sealing material, primarily from expanded graphite, can significantly reduce the pressure in the sealing surface and also stress in bolts and flanged joints. The new solution of sealing between the joint of collector and the lid should extend the life of joints and thus the nuclear and technical safety. The text is divided into the theoretical and computational part. A principle of the SG, the SG design, and a description of the joint and lid are mentioned in the theoretical part. The computational part shows calculations of the new joint, the original one, and comparison of both solutions in terms of technical and nuclear safety. The work contains drawing of the new joint.
