Abstract

897,447. Nuclear power plant. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Oct. 21, 1959 [Oct. 28, 1958; June 4, 1959], Nos. 34412/58 and 19146/59. Class 39(4). In a heavy water moderated, steam-cooled, nuclear reactor power plant, water is vaporized in heat exchangers heated by superheated steam from the reactor, which is supplied with vapour from the exchangers. The reactor superheated steam outlet temperature is maintained constant by a control rod positioned automatically in correspondence with a temperature error signal. The moderator water is temperature controlled by circulation through a cooler. The heat supply to an auxiliary feedwater heater is automatically raised as the turbine pressure falls. As shown in the Figure accompanying the Provisional Specification, the reactor 1 supplies superheated steam to the turbine 6. The condensate from condenser 7 is transferred, by pumps 8, 10, to the evaporators 2, 3, 4, 5 the saturated steam output from which passes to the reactor where it is superheated. From the reactor the superheated steam passes cyclically through 2, 3, 4 and the reactor before flowing through 5 to the turbine.
