Heat pipe molten salt fast reactor with stagnant liquid core

摘要

A neutron reflector (18) spaced from the containment vessel (12) and positioned between the reactor core and the containment vessel; and a melting furnace A plurality of heat transfer pipes (32) each having a first end (92) and a second end (94), said first end comprising a plurality of heat transfer pipes A heat exchanger (70) disposed outside the containment vessel to receive a second end of each heat transfer pipe for transferring heat from the core to the heat exchanger, at least one Preferably two or more reactor shutdown systems, at least one reactor shutdown system may be a passive system, and at least one or two reactor shutdown systems may be active or inactive Im system (passive or manually operated system) is operated in a hands-a molten salt nuclear reactor 10 including a is described. The liquid fuel in the core is held in the core, and the heat pipes are used only to transfer heat from the liquid core to the heat exchanger.
