1,245,007. Nuclear power plant. SIEMENS A.G. 10 Oct., 1968 [13 Oct., 1967], No. 48166/68. Heading G6C. In a nuclear power plant incorporating a gas turbine and a compressor, cavitation in the latter is prevented by raising the gas input to the compressor to the supercritical state. The nuclear reactor, R, supplies heat to the carbon dioxide gas of the turbine, T, which drives both the compressor, V, and generator, G. The gas entering V is above the thermodynamical critical point, having a density above 200 kg./m.<SP>3</SP>. The gas is heated, in the heat exchanger WT2, by sodium heated in the exchanger WT1. The reactor coolant sodium flows through the primary circuit of WT1. In an alternative form, a fast breeder reactor, cooled directly with the carbon dioxide used in the turbine, may be mounted, with a recuperator, inside a prestressed concrete pressure vessel.
