摘要:
A nuclear reactor (1), in particular a liquid-metal-cooled reactor, is provided with at least one compact primary heat exchanger (11), in particular a steam generator, which has a plurality of heat-exchange tubes (27) having respective spiral portions (37) set in levels on top of one another to form an annular tube bundle (40) delimiting a substantially cylindrical internal central zone (17), which houses, at the bottom, a circulation pump (10) and is pre-arranged for supply from below with primary fluid (liquid metal), which then traverses the tube bundle radially.

A nuclear reactor is provided that comprises a vessel that houses a core, comprising a bundle of fuel elements, and immersed in a primary cooling fluid of the core; the fuel elements extend along respective longitudinal and parallel axes and are mechanically supported by respective heads joined to each other and joined to an anchoring structure by support devices acting between adjacent fuel elements, or acting between fuel elements situated on the periphery of the core and the anchoring structure, and which constitute an integral part of the heads of the fuel elements.

A nuclear reactor (1) cooled with pressurized water, having a pressurized tank (2) installed in which are compact steam generators (11); each steam generator (11) comprises a plurality of heat-exchange tubes (21) having respective spiral portions (37) set in levels on top of one another to form at least one annular tube bundle (20) delimiting a substantially cylindrical internal central zone (22), pre-arranged for supply from above with primary water, which then traverses the tube bundle radially.
摘要:
A nuclear reactor cooled by liquid metal or by molten salts, provided with a heat exchanger, having inlet of the primary fluid in the lower part and circumferential outlet window in the vicinity of the free surface of the primary fluid in the cold collector. The outlet window is located in an intermediate position with respect to the tube bundle partially raised with respect to the free surface in the cold collector and supplied with primary fluid throughout its height by means of an ancillary device for creating an underpressure in the cover gas of the exchanger with respect to the cover gas in the vessel. The raising of the exchanger and the positioning of the outlet window in the vicinity of the free surface of the primary coolant help to minimize the displacement of primary fluid in the event of accidental release of secondary fluid inside the heat exchanger.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system (1) for evacuating the residual heat from a nuclear reactor (2), wherein the residual heat is evacuated by irradiation from the main tank (3) of the nuclear reactor towards a ring of substantially U-shaped tubes (15), inside which external air circulates in natural circulation and which are arranged circumferentially around the tank (3). The tubes (15) are grouped together in modules (11), each of which is made up of a set of U-shaped tubes (15) inserted inside one another with respective side-by-side branches (16) facing the tank (3) and arranged on opposite sides of a common central axis (X) and laterally separated from one another by empty spaces. A radiant heat reflecting wall (30), which also constitutes a structure (33) for containing an insulation filling (34) of the nuclear-reactor well (5), is set behind the tubes (15) with respect to the tank (3) to reflect back onto the tubes (15) the radiant heat passing through the empty spaces between one tube (15) and another. The reflecting wall (30) is shaped in such a way as to be partially inserted between the branches (16) of the tubes (15) to define a longitudinal channel (31) set substantially around each branch (16).

摘要:
The present invention relates to a nuclear reactor (1), in particular a pool -type nuclear reactor cooled with liquid metal (for example, a heavy metal such as lead or lead-bismuth eutectic) or with sodium or molten salts, having a core (4) formed by a bundle of fuel elements (12) and immersed in a primary fluid (F) circulating between the core and at least one heat exchanger (10); the fuel elements (12) extend along respective parallel longitudinal axes (A) and have respective bottom active parts (13) immersed in the primary fluid to constitute the core, and respective service parts (14) that extend at the top from the active parts and emerge from the primary fluid; the fuel elements (12) are mechanically supported via respective top end heads (32) anchored to supporting structures (120) and can be operated via handling machines.
