Abstract

1,172,721. Reactors. EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY. 14 March, 1967 [31 March, 1966], No. 11976/67. Heading G6C. In a nuclear reactor pressure tube, formed of zirconium or beryllium, thermal insulation is provided at both the inner and outer surfaces. The tube is thereby maintained between predetermined temperature limits within which it has acceptable mechanical properties under the working thermal and radiation conditions. The reactor coolant flowing within the tube is an organic liquid. The internal insulation may be of carbon or graphite and the external layer of a gas between the pressure tube and the surrounding calandria tube. In further embodiments, both internal and external gas layers provide the thermal insulation and the internal gas layer may be either annular or formed of gas-filled beryllium tubes at the inner wall of the pressure tube.
