IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO TANKS FOR HOLDING A COOLANT TO BE CIRCULATED THROUGH A NUCLEAR REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4843624
A tank, mounted above a reactor and forming the top cover for the vessel containing the reactor, for accommodating the coolant of a reactor is described. The tank is divided into upper and lower compartments by a horizontal, heat insulated diaphragm. The lower compartment is divided by a vertical diaphragm into a center core part and an outer annular part. There is a pump supported in the tank. A heat exchanger supported in the tank provides heat exchange in the flow of fluid between the compartments. There are tubular stays passing vertically through the tank with a support grid between them. (N.W.R.)
