NUCLEAR REACTORS

OSTI ID:4843849
In a gas cooled nuclear reactor, having a closed cooling circuit, a safety valve is provided able to shut down the pressure in this circuit by allowing the coolant to escape into an absorber device. From this valve a first duct leads the coolant to a gas-holder having a bed of stones at its bottom, so that the gas entering the gas-holder is cooled beforehand by these stones in order to reduce its volume. A further duct leads the gas to the absorbing device, the un-absorbed gas returning to the gas-holder. The interspace formed between the reactor vessel and the radiation shield may be purged with clean gas, normally stored in a pressurized state. Preferably several reactor cooling systems are associated with the same absorbing system. (NPO)
