ABSTRACT:
A nuclear power system comprises a plurality of modules disposed in below-grade pits to provide a compact, self-contained nuclear power supply. The modules are preferably individually transportable so that they may be substantially preassembled prior to installation. The system operates at relatively low temperatures and pressures, and includes various safety features which would prevent radioactive contamination of the surrounding environment in the event of a disturbance causing rupture of one or more of the odules or the pipes interconnecting the modules. The system also provides a low resistance flow path for vapor discharged from the turbine to improve efficiency.
