Abstract
1,273,737. Cooling reactors. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. 7 Aug., 1969 [14 Aug., 1968], No. 38944/68. Heading G6C. In a gas cooled nuclear reactor, the graphite moderator core 12 is cooled by a coolant flow in the opposite direction to the coolant flow in the fuel channels, 13. Cool gas enters the plenum below the core, 12, and flows upwards through the hollow support pillars, 14, into the interstitial channels, 30, in the core, to the upper plenum 33. The gas passes downwards through the fuel channels 13, through the outlet duct, 34, and the heat exchangers 35, 36 and 37 to the inlet 40 and the circulator, 39. The inlet and outlet currents to the core are separated, in the lower plenum by a horizontal membrane secured to the pillars, 14. The internal wall of the concrete vessel, 11, is thermally insulated and cooled by the gas flow between it and the steel reactor shield 43. A debris container is mounted at the lower end of each fuel channel. Annular passageways between the fuel element sleeves and the fuel channel walls are cooled by an upward gas flow conveyed by radial ducts extending from the channels, 30.
