Compact pressurized water nuclear reactor

摘要

A compact pressurised water nuclear reactor comprises a primary circuit fully integrated into the reactor vessel ( 10 ). Thus, a single steam generator ( 12 ) forms the cover of the vessel ( 10 ) and the pressuriser ( 30 ) and the primary pumps ( 28 ) are housed in the vessel ( 10 ). The same is true for the control mechanisms of the control rods ( 40 ). Finally, a venturi system ( 44 ) is also provided in the vessel ( 10 ) to create water circulation if there is a failure of the primary pumps ( 28 ).
