ABSTRACT:
Liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactor incorporating a main vessel sealed by a slab and containing the reactor core, an inner vessel placed within the main vessel and defining in the latter a hot zone filled with relatively hot liquid metal and a cold zone filled with relatively cold liquid metal, at least one pump for circulating the liquid metal between the cold zone and the hot zone across the core and at least one heat exchanger disposed between the hot zone and the cold zone, wherein the inner vessel comprises two truncated cone-shaped ferrules opposed by their large bases and a small diameter cylindrical ferrule extending the small base of the upper truncated cone-shaped ferrule, the reactor core resting on the small base of the lower truncated cone-shaped ferrule by means of a support structure, the hot zone being formed within the inner vessel, while the cold zone is formed between the main vessel and the inner vessel.
