PRESSURIZED WATER REACTOR WITH RADIALLY ARRANGED COOLANT TUBES (in German)

OSTI ID:4231043
A heterogeneous reactor for especially high operating pressure is described. The reactor container is spherically shaped and the fuel elements are arranged in special coolant tubes. In this reactor by fixed arrangement methods and a favorable distribution of the fuel both the desired spherical geometry of the active core is approximated and also an exchange of fuel elements and coolant tubes is easily possible. The coolant tubes are distribated radially around a central point, which is determined by the common intersection of all coolant tube axes and which at the same time is used as suspension point for a remote- controlled -loading machine. The fuel elemerts are placed within toe coolant tubes. (J.S.R.)
