TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED NUCLEAR REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4096178
In a nuclear reactor having a strong negative temperature coefficient of reactivity, the liquid moderator is kept at a temperature below a maximum where the reactor becomes subcritical. This temperature control is achieved by regulating the temperature of the liquid moderator flow ing in natural circulation from the bottom to the top and afterward sinking down in an annular space between the core and the containing shell; after being cooled at the containing wall, the temperature is controlled by a cooling skirt arranged outside the said shell. The reactivity may be adjusted by arranging supplementary fuel elements in the center of the reactor core. (NPO)
