IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4149846
An improved cooling circuit was invented for heterogeneous reactors in which one liquid is used as coolant and moderator; it is improved in the sense that only a portion of the liquid is directed into the moderator space, the rest going into the coolant channels. This splitting of the liquid flow into the reactor is accomplished by a branch duct which has a cooling device for increasing the moderating capacity of the liquid. The cooling circuit is designed so that modifications are possible which allow the liquid emerging from the moderator space to enter (1) the outlet, (2) the coolant channels with the rest of the liquid, and (3) the coolant channels alone with the rest of the liquid being blocked.
