ABSTRACT:
Gas-cooled nuclear reactors include circulation systems for cooling gas to remove the heat generated in the reactor core. An improved arrangement includes a plurality of steam generators in a horizontal plane located above the horizontal plane of the reactor core. The cooling gas circulates from the bottom of the reactor core to the top. Improved heat removal is accomplished in this manner as the heated cooling gas enters the steam generators after passage through the reactor core without undergoing further circulation in a horizontal or inverse vertical direction.
