Section: claims

1. A nuclearized hot-isostatic press (HIP) system comprising:a high temperature HIP furnace;a multi-wall vessel surrounding the furnace, wherein the multi-walled vessel comprises an inner wall and an outer wall, at least one detector contained between the inner wall and the outer wall to detect a gas leak, a crack in a vessel wall, or both;multiple heads located on top and underneath the furnace;a yoke and a yoke frame; anda lift mechanism configured to load and unload a HIP can to the high temperature HIP furnace. 2. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, wherein the at least one detector comprises a pressure detector, a gas flow detector, a gas analyzer, a radiation detector, or an acoustic detector. 3. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, wherein multi-wall vessel comprises two concentric vessels. 4. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 3, wherein two concentric vessels contain at least one groove between the vessels, wherein said groove is contained in the outside of the inner vessel or on the inside of the outer vessel, or both, and forms one or more pathways for gas located between the vessel walls to travel. 5. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, wherein the yoke comprises multiple elements and is configured to allow the yoke frame to remain operational upon the failure of one element of the yoke. 6. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, further comprising at least one strain gauge on the yoke configured to collect and provide real time stress data during operation of the nuclearized HIP system. 7. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, wherein the multiple heads comprise a top head, an outer lower head, and an inner lower head. 8. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 7, wherein the outer lower head is configured to allow the furnace to sit on it. 9. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 8, wherein the outer lower head can be locked to the vessel while the inner lower head can be lowered to accept a part to be pressed in the nuclearized HIP system. 10. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 7, wherein the inner lower head is configured to hold a stand on which a part to be pressed in the nuclearized HIP system is placed, and is configured to allow the inner lower head to fit within the inner diameter of the outer lower head. 11. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 7, wherein the inner lower head contains at least one seal to form a seal with the outer head, and/or to keep the furnace and thermal barrier in place when the component to be pressed is loaded and unloaded. 12. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 7, wherein the inner lower head comprises at least one pneumatic pin, cylinder or clamp that couples it to the outer lower head. 13. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 7, wherein the top head is located on top of the furnace and sits in the bore of the vessel. 14. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, wherein the system comprises a loading element comprising an electric lift, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, machine screws, or a combination thereof, to load and unload a HIP can from outside the HIP system to the HIP furnace. 15. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 14, wherein the loading element comprises a bottom loading design. 16. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 15, wherein the system further comprises a dual bottom closure design to allow the furnace and thermal barrier to stay in place inside the vessel while a part that was pressed in the nuclearized HIP system is removed from the system. 17. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, wherein the furnace is locked in place for normal operation with spring loaded catches. 18. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 17, wherein the latches can either be manually or automatically actuated. 19. The nuclearized HIP system of claim 1, further comprising at least one thermal barrier layer located between the furnace and the multi-walled vessel.
