IMPROVEMENTS IN NUCLEAR REACTORS FOR PRODUCING STEAM
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4843233
A boiling reactor is designed which combines the advantages of the boiling type and gas-cooled type reactors in that it obtains directly superheated steam while avoiding instabilities. The reactor has its fuel elements located in tubes in the water vessel and has upper and lower vapor zones, communication between the two zones being formed by the tubes. In order to escape from the reactor, the steam must force itself from the upper zone past the fuel elements to the lower zone; thus, heat transfer from the fuel elements to the water is effected through steam, and the escaping steam becomes superheated.
