ABSTRACT:
In a liquid-metal cooled nuclear reactor using liquid metal as a coolant and having vessels and pipings for accommodating the liquid metal coolant, at least pat of the region surrounding a coolant pressure boundary defined at outer wall surfaces of the vessels and piping is occupied by a mass of a solidified liquid metal. The solid mass (e.g. sodium) actually forms the coolant pressure boundary so that it is not so necessary to ensure the soundness of the steel walls of the vessels and pipings which accommodate the liquid metal coolant.
