Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A METHOD OF OPERATING A WATER-WOOLED NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPRISING CIRCULATING WATER DIRECTLY FROM A RESERVOIR THROUGH A REACTOR DISPOSED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIR TO AN EXTERNAL HEAT EXCHANGER WITHOUT PERMITTING THE CIRCULATING WATER TO MIX WITH WATER IN THE RESERVOIR AND RETURNING THE WATER TO THE RESERVOIR A SHORT DISTANCE ABOVE THE TOP OF THE REACTOR, THE RATE OF CIRCULATION OF THE WATER BEING RELATED TO THE POWER LEVEL OF THE REACTOR AND THE RATE OF HEAT REMOVAL AT SAID HEAT EXCHANGER SUCH THAT THE MAXIUMUM TEMPERATURE OF THE CIRCULATING WATER IS SUBSTANTIALLY IN EXCESS OF THE BOILING POINT OF WATER AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, AND MAINTAINING A SUFFICIENT DEPTH OF WATER IN SAID RESERVOIR ABOVE THE REACTOR TO SUPPRESS BOILING OF THE WATER AT SAID MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE.
