IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO PRESSURE CONTAINERS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4824544

In order not to handle wall components of great thickness for pressure containers for a reactor, the vessel is constituted by a plurality of self- supporting containment shells disposed one inside the other, all having the same axis and each being made from a relatively thin steel sheet. Interspaces are formed between these containment shells constituting circuits of a coolant transmitting the pressure from the innermost to the outermost shell. Adjacent interspaces communicate with each other by a pump that increases the pressure of the coolant before it enters an inner interspace from the adjacent outer interspace. (NPO)
