ATOMIC STEAM GENERATION PLANT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G21D1/00 

FIELD: physics, nuclear.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to atomic power engineering, particularly to atomic steam generation plants for off-shore atomic thermal power plants. The atomic steam generation plant has an outer housing inside of which there are is an inner and middle vertical housing placed one inside the other. There is an inner liquid, middle steam and an outer liquid annular channel, all linked to each other. The atomic reactor and steam generator are made in form of a single steam generating reactor assembly in which the steam generator has a heat resistant radiation protective bottom and a reactor docked to it. Rod heat-conducting elements are let through the bottom, where the same end sections of the said elements lie in the reactor core and the other ends lie in the housing of the steam generator. The steam generator has heat-conducting elements with different heat-exchange surfaces which particularly form slit-type, triangular heat channels in an assembly of a different shape.

EFFECT: high efficiency, reliability and safety of operation owing to exclusion of reactor and some other intermediate heating loops with liquid heat carrier and increase in temperature of the generated steam with simplification and compactness of the design.
