ABSTRACT:
The nuclear boiler comprises at least one heat exchanger located externally of the reactor vessel in order to effect heat exchange between the liquid metal coolant in the form of liquid and water to be vaporized and superheated together with a main storage tank connected to the reactor vessel for receiving liquid metal and inert gas. A main storage tank pipe system fitted with valves consists of a first overflow pipe for connecting the top of the reactor vessel to the bottom of the storage tank, and at least one second pressure-equalizing pipe between the top of the reactor vessel and the top of the storage tank. Controlled-atmosphere compartments forming the reactor containment structure and containing the unclear steam supply systems provide biological protection for operating personnel and guard against impacts of external origin.
