Abstract
Nuclear energy installation includes a nuclear reactor core, a primary circulatory loop connected to the reactor core and having a circulating liquid metal medium therein heated by the reactor core, a first heat exchanger having a primary side connected in the primary circulatory loop, and a secondary side, a secondary circulatory loop connected to the secondary side of the first heat exchanger and having a circulating liquid metal medium therein heated by heat transfer in the first heat exchanger from the liquid metal medium of the primary circulatory loop, a second heat exchanger having a primary side connected in the secondary circulatory loop, and a secondary side, a tertiary circulatory loop connected to the secondary side of the second heat exchanger and having a circulating water/steam medium therein heated by heat transfer in the second heat exchanger from the liquid metal medium of the secondary circulatory loop, a condenser having a vapor/condensate side thereof connected in the tertiary circulatory loop, and a coolant side thereof connectible to a heat sink outside the installation, a third heat exchanger having a primary side connected to the primary side of the first heat exchanger, and having a secondary side, a quaternary coolant loop connected to the secondary side of the third heat exchanger and connectible through the condenser to the heat sink.
