Abstract: A nuclear reactor in which a secondary or tertiary coolant system of a nuclear steam supply system is simplified, comprising: a reactor vessel (2) which integrates a reactor core (1); a first coolant (3) which is stored in the reactor vessel (2) and heated by the reactor core (1) to convect; a first heat transfer tube (4) which is arranged in the reactor vessel (2) and comes into contact with the first coolant (3); and a second coolant (5) which is supplied from the outside of the reactor vessel (2) to the first heat transfer tube (4), cools the first coolant (3) and led to the outside of the reactor vessel (2).

Abstract: A reactor core of a fast breeder reactor is supported by a core support within a reactor vessel. The reactor vessel is provided with a first or lower sodium chamber for accommodating low temperature sodium, a second or intermediate sodium chamber for accommodating low temperature sodium and a third or upper sodium chamber for accommodating high temperature sodium heated by passage of the low temperature sodium through the reactor core into the third sodium chamber. Low temperature sodium is introduced into the second sodium chamber arranged between the first and third sodium chamber for cooling the core support.
