Abstract
A gas turbine power plant has a gas turbine including both high-pressure and low-pressure turbine sections and a compressor including both high-pressure and low-pressure compressor sections. One gas turbine section and one compressor section are arranged on each of a pair of twin-shafts with a closed circulation system flowing through the compressor and gas turbine sections. A nuclear reactor supplies heat to a working gas of the circulation system. Various by-passes for the working gas are provided which are controlled in response to operating conditions. In this way, the pressure of the working gas within the nuclear reactor and between the low and high pressure gas turbine sections is maintained substantially constant.
