Nuclear reactor with heavy liquid metal coolant

The invention relates to nuclear engineering and is intended for a power plant having a reactor with a heavy liquid metal coolant based on lead or based on an alloy of lead and bismuth. More effective radiation protection can be provided for equipment in the reactor vessel, the heat storage capacity of a main loop is increased, the weight of the nuclear reactor is reduced, and the strength characteristic of the nuclear reactor is improved. Vessels spaced apart to allow the flow of the coolant are arranged in the space inside the nuclear reactor vessel that is not occupied by important equipment, said vessels being filled with a material that reflects or absorbs neutrons and has a thermal capacity greater than the thermal capacity of the coolant, such that the resulting gaps form channels with a turbulent flow of coolant for cooling the vessels at a flow rate corresponding to a nominal power level of the nuclear reactor. 本发明涉及核工程并且旨在用于具有反应堆的发电厂，所述反应堆具有基于铅或基于铅和铋的合金的重液态金属冷却剂。本发明可以为反应堆容器内的设备提供更有效的辐射防护，增加主回路的蓄热能力，
