BOILING WATER REACTOR WITH SUPER-HEATING
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4823799
The boiling water reactor comprises a pressure vessel enclosing a core constituted by a plurality of vertically positioned parallel hollow fuel elements supported at their ends by support plate systems. The moderator water enters at the top of the vessel, via the upper tubular extensions of the fuel elements, flows downwards and becomes heated, and begins to boil in a lower region. The steam developed leaves the hollow fuel elements by lateral openings that are nearly tangential to the inner fuel tube wall. The steam is then superheated in the space between the fuel tubes before it leaves the reactor vessel. (NPO)
