ABSTRACT:
Nuclear reactor having upper internal equipments and lower internal equipments with probe guiding means including probe guide ducts for slidably guiding flexible elongated probes into the core. The upper internal equipments include a plenum chamber for collecting the coolant coming out of the core and separating means disposed between the core and the plenum chamber, said separating means including two plates, one upper and one lower, connected at their periphery by an envelope and comprising spacer tubes through which pass the coolant so as to avoid passing through cluster guides for guiding the clusters of control elements into and out of the core. Lower internal equipments placed between the core and the bottom of the vessel include an enclosure and ducts for the passage of the coolant entering the core, said enclosure thus defining a tranquilized volume in which the probe guide ducts are distributed. These probe ducts penetrate into the reactor through sleeves situated above coolant inlet and outlet nozzles means.
