REACTOR CORE

The reactor core includes at least one module, solid and liquid neutron moderators. The module contains a casing, at least one heat pipe, one fuel element and thermal insulation. The heat pipe is in the shape of a casing with a wick and contains a coolant. The fuel element is made of nuclear fuel, arranged in the evaporation area of the heat pipe around its casing in thermal contact with it, and enclosed in a can. Low-melting metals with a high boiling point are used as the coolant of the heat pipe. Thermal insulation is arranged between the can and the casing of the module. At least one hole is made in the solid neutron moderator, in which at least one module is arranged. The space between the casing of the module and the solid neutron moderator is filled with a liquid neutron moderator.
