Abstract
A roof reflector for a small, high temperature reactor with a hot gas collector space arranged above the roof reflector comprises a side reflector arranged under the roof reflector around a reactor core with a thermal side shield arranged around both the side reflector and the roof reflector. The roof reflector is composed of individual, mutually supporting, wedge-shaped graphite blocks and is supported on the thermal side shield by means of springingly elastic fastening elements in a radially expandable manner.
Claims2
A roof reflector in combination with a small high temperature nuclear reactor having a reactor core, a hot gas collector space arranged above said roof reflector and laterally surrounding said reactor core, and a thermal side shield laterally surrounding said side reflector and said roof reflector, said roof reflector comprising:
- a central support portion consisting essentially of individual, mutually supporting, wedge-shaped graphite blocks supported against each other;
- an annular outer portion laterally surrounding and supporting said central support portion;
- and
- springingly elastic means for fastening said annular outer portion to said thermal side shield in a radially expandable manner.
