  • Supercritical-pressure water cooled reactor and power generation plant
    Patent number: 6526115
    Abstract: A supercritical pressure water cooled reactor comprising: a reactor vessel including: a shell part for containing sub-critical pressure coolant, and an end part for containing supercritical-pressure coolant which is separated from the sub-critical pressure coolant in the reactor vessel. A core-support plate with through-holes, the core-support plate disposed-in and fixed to the reactor vessel so that the core-support plate divides space inside the reactor vessel into a supercritical-pressure portion and a sub-critical pressure portion. Fuel tubes with both open ends fixed to the through-holes, the open ends being communicated to the supercritical-pressure portion, outside of the fuel tubes being disposed in the sub-critical pressure portion; and nuclear fuel assemblies disposed in the fuel tubes.
    Type: Grant
