Abstract
A nuclear power plant which includes a closed loop power generation circuit making use of helium as the working fluid. The plant further includes a helium inventory control system which includes a plurality of helium storage tanks whereby helium can be fed into or removed from the power generation circuit. Each helium storage tank is provided with a heat sink so that the tank has a relatively high thermal inertia which in turn restricts the temperature variation within the storage tank as a result of the introduction of helium into and/or the withdrawal of helium from the storage tank. This permits the optimization of the design of the storage tanks.
