Vapor cooled nuclear reactor

Claim 1

IN COMBINATION WITH A VAPOR-COOLED NUCLEAR REACTOR HAVING A PLURALITY OF ZONES OF DIFFERENT HEAT INTENSITY: COOLANT DISCHARGE MEANS INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF DISCHARGE CONDUITS INDIVIDUALLY CONNECTED TO DIFFERENT HEAT INTENSITY ZONES OF THE REACTOR FOR DISCHARGING HEATED COOLANT IN THE FORM OF SUPERHEATED VAPOR FROM THE REACTOR, A SUPERHEATED VAPOR CONSUMER CONNECTED TO SAID DISCHARGE MEANS FOR RECEIVING SUPERHEATED VAPOR THEREFROM, A VESSEL CONTAINING COOLANT IN LIQUID STATE, A PIPE CONNECTING SAID COOLANT DISCHARGE MEANS AND THE LIQUID SPACE IN SAID VESSEL FOR CONDUCTING SUPERHEATED VAPOR INTO SAID VESSEL AND EVAPORATING THE LIQUID COOLANT THEREIN, A COOLANT SUPPLY CONDUIT CONNECTED TO THE VAPOR SPACE IN SAID VESSEL AND INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF PIPES ARRANGED IN PARALLEL RELATION WITH RESPECT TO FLOW OF THE COOLANT AND INDIVIDUALLY CONNECTED TO DIFFERENT HEAT INTENSITY ZONES OF THE REACTOR FOR SUPPLYING VAPOR FROM SAID VESSEL AS A COOLANT TO THE REACTOR, MEANS INTERPOSED IN SAID SUPPLY CONDUIT BETWEEN SAID VESSEL AND THE REACTOR FOR EFFECTING FLOW OF VAPOR FROM SAID VESSEL TO THE REACTOR, A PLURALITY OF PIPE LINES CONNECTED TO SAID DISCHARGE MEANS FOR RECEIVING SUPERHEATED VAPOR THEREFROM AND INDIVIDUALLY CONNECTED TO SAID PIPES OF SAID COOLANT SUPPLY CONDUITS FOR DISCHARGING SUPERHEATED VAPOR INTO SAID PIPES FOR HEATING AND DRYING THE VAPOR FLOWING THEREIN, A VALVE IN EACH OF SAID PIPE LINES, AND A TEMPERATURE RESPONSIVE CONTROL SIGNAL PRODUCING DEVICE CONNECTED TO EACH OF SAID DISCHARGE CONDUITS, SAID CONTROL SIGNAL PRODUCING DEVICES BEING INDIVIDUALLY OPERATIVELY CONNECTED TO SAID VALVES FOR OPENING SAID VALVES UPON A DECREASE OF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE RESPECTIVE DISCHARGE CONDUIT BELOW A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE, AND VICE VERSA.
