A low-power nuclear reactor includes a housing and a reflector forming a reactor core. The core includes inner and outer primary tubes therein, arranged together as bayonet tubes and intended for circulating a coolant, and secondary tubes, accommodating elements of a control and protection system. The reactor further includes an intake chamber for coolant of a primary loop, and a discharge chamber for coolant of the primary loop, separated by a partition. The outer primary tubes are secured on the intake chamber's bottom, and the inner primary tubes are secured on the partition. Fuel assemblies are mounted in the inner primary tubes on suspensions, which are mounted on the discharge chamber's upper portion. The secondary tubes are sealed off from the intake and discharge chambers for the coolant of the primary loop, and an inter-tube space of the core is filled with a medium or material transparent to neutrons.
