PRESSURIZED -WATER- COOLED NUCLEAR REACTOR WITH COMPACT STEAM GENERATORS

摘要

A nuclear reactor (1) cooled with pressurized water, having a pressurized tank (2) installed in which are compact steam generators (11); each steam generator (11) comprises a plurality of heat-exchange tubes (21) having respective spiral portions (37) set in levels on top of one another to form at least one annular tube bundle (20) delimiting a substantially cylindrical internal central zone (22), pre-arranged for supply from above with primary water, which then traverses the tube bundle radially.
