Small integrated modular nuclear reactor without refueling operating as vertical dry storage for irradiated fuel at the reactor end of life

An integrated PWR nuclear reactor that requires no refueling and is cooled by natural convection. It is housed within a reactor containment unit which is transportable to a placement site and placed within an underground building that allows heat transfer from the reactor to the surrounding soil. Tire reactor containment unit encloses an integrated PWR nuclear reactor, a pressure and chemical control system, a safety system and a turbo generator. After its operational life, the reactor's water and air are replaced with inert gases, circulating by natural convection to remove decay heat to the surrounding soil. This enables the integrated PWR reactor, initially designed to generate electricity, to act as a dry storage facility for uranium fuel elements after the end of its operational life.
