Abstract
Fast neutron nuclear reactor, which comprises a vessel containing a liquid cooling metal, a core immersed in this metal, the vessel having a flooring on which rests a structure for the core, said core being constituted by a juxtapositioning of assemblies fixed into the structure, the liquid cooling metal circulating in an upwards manner in the core, the liquid metal being called 'cold liquid metal' before its circulation in the core and 'hot liquid metal' after it has passed into the latter, wherein it comprises a fuel element storage structure, which is independent of the core structure and is arranged concentrically with respect to the latter and rests on the flooring, a circulation of cold liquid metal being ensured in the assembly by recovering leaks of the core structure.
