ABSTRACT:
In a molten-salt reactor, a common vessel contains the reactor core, a neutron-moderating mass pierced by passages for the circulation of the fuel salt, at least one primary heat exchanger which is located close to the reactor core and through which the hot fuel salt passes after discharge from the core, pumps for circulating the cold fuel salt from the heat exchangers back into the reactor core. The free spaces defined within the reactor vessel between the core, the heat exchangers and the pumps except for the passages in which the molten fuel salt is circulated are packed with material which is compatible with the fuel salt.
