Abstract
A sodium-cooled fast reactor comprises at least one auxiliary heat exchanger constituted by a plurality of vertical heat-exchange modules each provided with a coolant circuit. A vertical cylindrical passage for each auxiliary heat exchanger extends through the reactor vault roof. The passage diameter is larger than the diameter of a heat-exchange module but smaller than the overall dimension of the auxiliary heat exchanger in horizontal cross-section. Each passage is closed by a shield plug after the modules have been placed in position, the modules being disposed around an axial extension of each shield plug.
