Zusammenfassung:A power module (5, 25) comprises a nuclear reactor core (6), and a reflector (50) partially surrounding the reactor core (6) to improve a neutron efficiency of the power module (5, 25). The reflector (50) comprises one or more inlets (IN1, IN2) located adjacent the reactor core (6). The one or more inlets (IN1, IN2) are configured to receive coolant that has passed through at least a portion of the reactor core (6) prior to entering the one or more inlets (IN1, IN2).
