REACTOR ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G21C1/24 

FIELD: physics, atomic power.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nuclear power engineering, specifically to nuclear reactors, and can be used to produce heat and electric power, to burn transuranium nuclides and produce nuclear fuel and radioactive preparations. The reactor assembly comprises a reactor with a core inside the reactor housing. The cooling loop includes a heat exchanger connected to a coolant circulation line and a container for emergency discharge of fuel solution connected to the core. The core is formed in the reactor housing in form of two cavities separated by a partition wall. The cavities are linked to each other in the lower part of the reactor housing by a slit formed between the lower edge of the partition wall and the bottom of the housing, and in the upper part by pipes, each fitted with a circulation pump. The assembly is equipped with at least one container placed in one of the cores and connected to the heat exchanger of the cooling loop of the core.

EFFECT: continuous cycle of the assembly, keeping radioactive substances inside the housing.
