ABSTRACT:
A high-temperature gas cooled nuclear reactor system comprises a containment building, a concrete reactor pressure vessel inside the containment building, and a safety relief valve connected to the concrete reactor pressure vessel. The spring of the safety valve consists of a material with a spring constant decreasing as temperature rises. A heat exchanger is provided in close proximity to cool the spring of the safety valve which is subject to the heat of the reactor coolant escaping when the safety valve is open. The heat exchanger of the safety valve is connected to a liner cooling system of the concrete reactor pressure vessel.
