ABSTRACT:
An intermediate heat exchanger for a liquid metal cooled nuclear reactor and method. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of thermally uncompensated tubes mounted in the heat exchanger for carrying a liquid metal heating fluid from a hot pool to a cool pool in the nuclear reactor and a shell enclosing these tubes for bringing a liquid metal heated fluid into thermal communication with both said tubes and said heating fluid. In operation the shell is heated by thermal communication with the hot pool to a temperature substantially greater than the temperature of the tubes. The elevated temperature of the shell stresses the tubes in tension and the heat exchanger is thereby capable of accommodating differential thermal expansion.
