Abstract
A high-temperature reactor with a reactor core containing fuel elements crossed by a cooling gas circuit comprises a malfunction filter for filtering metal fission products discharged from the fuel elements in the event of core overheating. The filter is mounted in the cooling gas circuit outside the reactor core and consists of a carbon which is incompletely graphitized, or is not graphitized at all.
Claims12
A malfunction filter for a high temperature reactor having a ceiling reflector and a reactor core containing fuel elements crossed by a cooling gas circuit, the filter comprising:
- (a) a filtering element for metal fission products emitted by the fuel elements during a reactor core heating malfunction;
- (b) said filtering element for being disposed above the ceiling reflector;
- and,
- (c) said filtering element comprising binder coke comprised of carbon which is incompletely graphitized or at least 5% non-graphitized.
