Abstract
A reactor core of a fast breeder reactor is supported by a core support within a reactor vessel. The reactor vessel is provided with a first or lower sodium chamber for accommodating low temperature sodium, a second or intermediate sodium chamber for accommodating low temperature sodium and a third or upper sodium chamber for accommodating high temperature sodium heated by passage of the low temperature sodium through the reactor core into the third sodium chamber. Low temperature sodium is introduced into the second sodium chamber arranged between the first and third sodium chamber for cooling the core support.
