ABSTRACT:
A pressure vessel of a reactor has a flow space between the reactor core and a separation device for separating water from water steam. The cross-section area of the flow section of the space expands upstream of the separation device. This makes it possible to pre-separate a water-water steam mixture coming from the reactor core. Due to the pre-separation, only the central area is provided with a cyclone device, and only drying equipment is disposed near the cyclone device. The novel approach makes it possible to reduce the height of the pressure vessel of a reactor.
