A compact metal containment vessel, for a boiling water nuclear reactor, includes in one exemplary embodiment, a bottom head, a removable top head, and a substantially cylindrical sidewall extending from the bottom head to the top head. The bottom head, top head and cylindrical sidewall define a containment cavity sized to receive and enclose a reactor pressure vessel. The containment vessel has a pressure rating of at least about 50 atmospheres atm.
