Due to the volatile nature of the secondary fluid circulating in the tubes 20, the length and the section of the tubes 20 are chosen so that the fluid entering through the lower end of the tubes in the liquid state leaves at their upper end at l state of superheated steam under the effect of the heat given off by liquid sodium 12.
