Abstract

889,200. Nuclear reactors. UNITED KING- DOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Jan. 12, 1959 [Feb. 12, 1958], No. 4664/58. Class 39(4) In a gas cooled reactor, the gas, when contaminated with fission products, may be passed from the coolant circuit through a reservoir to an external absorbing tower. As shown, the reactor 1 is cooled by the flow of carbon dioxide round the circuit formed of pressure vessel 2, ducts 4, 5, heat exchanger 6 and pump 7. The circuit is connected by the safety valve 9 with the gas-holder 13 and absorbtion tower 14. The latter comprises a continuously recirculated NaOH solution and is coupled to 13 by a closed circuit of pipes 16, 18 and pump 17. To purge the reactor after faulty fuel elements have been removed, the carbon dioxide reservoir 28 is connected to the coolant, circuit by valve 29. Fire extinguishing materials are contained in reservoir 26 coupled to the coolant circuit by valve 27.
