Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent vibration and gas-carrying into coolant by providing a cylinder inside a reactor vessel and putting a cover for forming a siphon on the end of the said cylinder like a saddle. CONSTITUTION:A part of the cold coolant A in the cold plenum 6 is separated and depressurized and then guided upward in the annular region formed between a vessel wall 1 and a cylinder 3 to cool the vessel wall 1 of reactor vessel. The coolant A flowing upward in the said annular region after cooling the vessel wall 1 is allowed to pass over the upper end of the cylinder 3 by the siphon effect of the cover 8 for forming siphon and flow in the free liquid surface W in the reactor vessel. For this purpose, the inside of the cover for forming siphon is evacuated with the pipe 9 for evacuation to smooth the flow from the said annular region by way of the upper part of the cylinder 3 to the reactor vessel inside.
