Abstract

1,068,080. Reactors. BABCOCK & WILCOX CO. Nov. 16, 1964 [Nov. 15, 1963; Nov. 29, 1963], No. 46609/64. Heading G6C. In a nuclear superheated steam generating plant suitable for marine use, pressurized primary water cools the reactor and produces superheated steam in a once-through flow of secondary coolant water in heat exchangers within the pressure vessel. To accommodate changes of operating conditions the flow of secondary coolant through the exchanger may be controlled. An outer chamber surrounds the pressure vessel and is water filled to serve as a biological shield. The external surface of the pressure vessel is lined with insulating and shielding material. Dissipation of decay heat during shut-down is effected by connecting the heat exchangers to an external water tank. The pressure vessel has a safety valve. Under normal operation the primary coolant is pumped vertically upwards through the core and downwards through the heat exchangers disposed round the core. Gas pressurization of the primary coolant is used. Control rods are adjusted vertically, the flow of coolant past the core is restricted and natural circulation is employed at low loads.
