NUCLEAR JET ENGINE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: power production. SUBSTANCE: device has reactor which is designed as packet of cassettes which are tightly allocated and have output nozzles. Each cassette is designed as Field tube which has thin-wall cover which is shaped as proper polyhedron and axial tube which provides housing for heat emitting assembly. When reactor is assembled, housings of adjacent cassettes are sealed so that upper wall for collector of fire bottom and units for support of assemblies are provided. In similar way housings of assemblies are joined on side of nozzles. This results in shaping lower wall for collector of fire bottom and for units of nozzle suspension. Field tubes packet is mounted on side surface in contact to reflector, which is shaped as ring set of prisms. Latter set is embraced by bandage which serves as load- bearing housing of reactor. Each cassette housing is shaped as hexagon and has sphere bottom. Upper and lower walls of collector of fire bottom is achieved during packet assembling. This may be achieved by threaded joint sleeves which are located in coaxial around nozzle parts of assemblies. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 3 cl, 4 dwg
