ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for generating power from a high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor utilizing two Brayton-type thermal cycle circuits exchanging heat through a common heat exchanger. The reactor gas coolant is circulated through a primary circuit including the reactor, and a working fluid is circulated through a secondary circuit in heat exchange relation with the reactor gas coolant. Work is extracted from the primary circuit turbine to drive both the primary circuit and secondary circuit compressors. Further, the entire primary circuit and the secondary circuit compressor are preferably disposed within a singular containment structure.
