ABSTRACT:
A nuclear core including a reflector assembly cooling arrangement utilizing a combination of forced and natural convection cooling. Forced convection cooling is achieved by using a low pressure gradient to drive coolant through the reflector assembly. Natural convection cooling of the reflector assembly is accomplished by using heat from the reflector assembly and cooling provided by core bypass coolant flow to circulate coolant by natural means through the reflector assembly.
