ABSTRACT:
Water is circulated within tube bundles located in spaced relation within the generator casing and converted to steam by exchange of heat with a liquid metal which is fed into the casing through a central axial tube. The liquid metal is distributed within adjacent compartments which are formed by radial partitions extending from the central tube and each accommodate at least one tube bundle. A small gap is formed between the radial partitions and the casing so as to provide a communication between adjacent compartments and to equalize the level of liquid metal.
