<p>The invention provides a nuclear power plant which includes a high temperature gas cooled reactor and a power conversion unit which, together with the reactor, forms a closed loop power generation circuit. The plant further includes a primary pressure boundary which defines a pressurised enclosure. The power conversion unit includes a power turbine positioned within the primary pressure boundary of the plant. An electrical generator which is positioned outside the primary pressure boundary and drive means which extends through the primary pressure boundary and drivingly connects the power turbine to the generator.</p> |
