Abstract
This underwater electricity production module includes an elongated cylindrical box, which includes a reactor compartment and an electricity production unit. The reactor compartment includes a reservoir chamber and a dry chamber. A nuclear reactor is located in the dry chamber. The reservoir chamber forms a safety water storage reservoir. At least a radial wall of the reservoir chamber is in a direct heat exchange relationship with a marine environment that surrounds the cylindrical box. The nuclear reactor includes a nuclear boiler which includes a pressurizer connected through a depressurizing valve to the reservoir chamber.
