IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4074089

A nuclear power reactor is described. It consists of an arrangement of tubes wherein fissile fuel elements (uranium alloy, ceramic uranium compound, or uranium cer met) are located. The liquid moderator contained in a vessel and located around the tubes is either light or heavy water. The vapor coolant circuit is located outside the moderator vessel and is made up of light or heavy water steam. In operation, moderator vapor is circulated through the closed circuit to remove the heat. The tube assemblies are adapted to fit together and may be withdrawn for servicing. (N.W.R.)
