The paper analyzes the severe deformation in the welding of core barrel in Qinshan Nuclear Power Phase II Extension Project Reactor 3
# unit,which nearly induces the loss of the function of the core barrel.Measures such as improving the welding fixture,process and parameter,and loading the counterweight is taken for the 4
# unit to minimize the deformation,and the result shows that the weld of the 4
# core barrel satisfies the design requirements.
