Abstract
The invention relates to a fast neutron nuclear reactor in which the primary pumps and exchangers are suspended on the rigid slab sealing the vessel containing the reactor core. The slab has in its thickness housings of reduced dimensions in which are confined the heads of the exchangers and the primary pumps. The flywheels of the pumps and part of the pipes of the secondary circuits are also contained in the housings. Other housings can be provided in the slab, particularly for the handling of fuels. Application to the improvement of the safety and reliability of fast neutron reactors is taught.
