Abstract

1307680 Reactors UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY 1 Oct 1970 [2 Oct 1969] 48538/69 Heading G6C In a sodium cooled fast breeder nuclear reactor, the core 19 and heat exchanger 30 are mounted inside the tank 1 beneath the surface 23 of the sodium which is circulated by the pump 25. An outer metal containment 4 surrounds 1, the neck, 2, being closed by the rotatable biological shields 13, 15. The assembly is supported inside the concrete vault by the strut structure 8. The pantograph fuel handling machine 36, on shield 15, moves fuel between positions in fuel store 22. Further handling machines (not shown) move fuel into 22 and from 22 to the core 19. The vault 11 is cooled by air from the duct 38, an argon gas blanket covers the sodium surface and the catcher 39 collects fuel which may fall from the core during an accident.
