A natural circulation boiling water reactor provides to a chimney with a plurality of tubes. That is to say, each of the plurality of tubes partitions the coolant flow path above a core. Thus, unlike the conventional natural circulation boiling water reactor providing the flow path partition wall grid in which the plate members are made integral by welding and coolant flow paths are partitioned, the chimney of the natural circulation boiling water reactor can reduce the number of welded portions because the edges of the four corners of each flow path do not need to be welded. The natural circulation boiling water reactor can avoid removal as a single unit, as in the case of the flow path partition wall grid in the conventional natural circulation boiling water reactor, by detaching each tube. The chimney can be easily detached from the reactor pressure vessel.
