Boiling water nuclear reactor with breeder blanket superheater

Claim 1

A BOILING WATER NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPRISING A PRESSURE VESSEL HAVING AN UPPER STEAM SPACE AND LOWER WATER SPACE, MEANS FORMING AN UPTIGHT CORE CHAMBER OCCUPYING A SUBSTANTIAL VOLUME WITHIN SAID WATER SPACE, A PLURALITY OF REMOVABLE SOLID FISSILE FUEL ELEMENTS OPERABLY ARRANGED IN SAID CORE CHAMBER TO RELEASE HEAT DURING THE CHAIN REACTION, SAID REACTOR BEING NORMALLY OPERABLY UNDER CONDITIONS OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE SUCH THAT THE WATER IN SAID PRESSURES VESSEL IS IN THE BOILING STATE, A PLURALITY OF MECHANICAL STEAM AND WATER SEPARATING DEVICES SUPERJACENT THE CORE CHAMBER AND ARRANGED TO SEPARATE A STEAMWATER MIXTURE RECEIVED THEREFROM, MEANS FORMING A CLOSED FERTILE MATERIAL BLANKET CHAMBER LONGITUDINALLY EMBRACING SAID CORE CHAMBER, A PLURALITY OF FERTILE MATERIAL ELEMENTS OPERABLY ARRANGED IN SAID BLANKET CHAMBER TO EMIT HEAT IN THE PRESENCE OF A HIGH NEUTRON FLUX, AND STEAM CONDUIT MEANS ARRANGED TO A PASS STEAM FROM SAID STEAM AND WATER SEPARATING DEVICES THROUGH SAID BLANKET CHAMBER WHILE COOLING THE FERTILE MATERIAL THEREIN AND SUPERHEATING THE STEAM.
