Embodiment Construction
[0012] figure 1 A nuclear reactor 1 of a type substantially known per se is shown in very schematic form.
[0013] The reactor 1 comprises a vessel 2 covered by a top cover 3; inside the vessel 2 is arranged a core 4 cooled by a primary fluid 5 (for example composed of sodium, lead, lead-bismuth eutectic or molten salt) which fills the vessel 2 to The free surface 6; the container 2 also houses the main heat exchanger (known and not shown), which transfers the energy generated in the core 4 to the outside via a circuit in which a secondary cooling fluid circulates, and the container 2 Other components are also accommodated, which are not shown since they are not relevant to the invention.
[0014] The reactor 1 is provided with a residual heat removal system 10 comprising: at least one first heat exchanger 11 accommodated in the container 2; high position (ie higher from the ground) and is connected to the heat exchanger 11 through a discharge circuit 13 .
