IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO COOLING OF NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4139454
A reactor cooling system is presented in which ducts through the biological shield allow convection flow of coolant in a circuit over the core vessel and over the walls of the containment vessel. The core is supponted in a core vessel surrounded by the biological shield. The fuel elements are cooled by liquid Na which is cooled by gas circulating upward around core and heat exchangers and downward along the outermost containment vessel. (T.R.H.)
