Abstract

846,996. Nuclear power plant. BABCOCK & WILCOX Ltd. March 3, 1959 [March 3, 1958], No. 6713/58. Class 39(4). [Also in Group XIII] A nuclear reactor, e.g. a heterogeneous breeder, is cooled by liquid Na, K, or a mixture of the two. The liquid metal is used to superheat steam which has been produced by heat exchange between superheated steam and water. Liquid metal from a reactor 1 superheats steam in superheaters 4. The steam is produced in evaporators 9 heated by the superheated steam, for starting, steam is provided by a boiler 14. The evaporators are arranged to produce slightly superheated steam so that if a tube fails the liquid metal will come into contact with steam rather than water. The liquid metal may also be used to reheat steam between turbine stages. The steam pressure in the superheater is made greater than that of the liquid metal, and steam temperature warning devices are provided.
