Title: IMPROVEMENTS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WORKING WITH A HOMOGENEOUS REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4094647

In order to avoid contamination of the turbine by radioactive products in a homogeneous reactor power plant, wherein the liquid fuel circulates through heat exchangers and may there create neutrons by photodisintegration induced by its gamma radiation so that these neutrons may induce the formation of radioactive products in the evaporating working fluid, the space for this evaporating liquid is separated into two compartments each heated by the liquid fuel. The steam produced in the first of these compartments is condensed by mixing with the boiler feed water and fed into the second compartment, while the first compartment is fed by the liquid excess of the second compartment; so in the latter, where the steam driving the turbine is formed, a continuous deconcentration of the radioactive contamination takes place.
