A superheater penetration is provided aligned with the axis of the cavity with the feedwater penetrations and the superheater penetration having mutually parallel axes. Superheater outlet means are positioned in the superheater penetration and include a tubesheet positioned a substantial distance from both the subsidiary cylindrical cavity and the exterior of the reactor vessel.
