Abstract
A nuclear reactor plant housed in a steel pressure vessel comprises a small high temperature reactor and a He/He heat exchanger located above the reactor, preferably followed by two circulating blowers connected in parallel. The installation further comprises at least one decay heat removal system, following in line the He/He heat exchanger in the direction of flow and with the entire flow of primary helium constantly flowing through it. In a preferred embodiment, the He/He heat exchanger is made up of two concentrically arranged coil bundles connected in succession, through which both the primary and the secondary helium are flowing in opposing directions.
