Abstract
A fast reactor of the sodium-cooled type comprises a vertical main vessel for supporting the reactor core and an internal primary vessel for separating the hot sodium discharged from the reactor core from the cold sodium discharged from the heat exchangers. The primary vessel essentially has a shape of revolution about the vertical axis of the main vessel and is provided with a lateral skew section traversed by the heat exchangers and the sodium pumps. A turned-down edge located at the exterior of the primary vessel and forming an extension of the skew section is joined to the main vessel at the lower end.
