Title: Nuclear reactor with equipment for preventing convection of metal vapors. [LMFBR]

Abstract

A liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactor has a reactor vessel with a cover at the top thereof and is partly filled with liquid metal up to a given surface level, the liquid metal surface and the reactor-vessel cover defining therebetween a gas-filled space, at least one quasi-tight convection barrier being disposed in the space and subdividing it in elevation.
