Abstract

A nuclear reactor (1) is provided, in particular a nuclear reactor cooled with a liquid metal (for example, a heavy liquid metal, such as lead or lead-bismuth eutectic), of the type having a cylindrical inner vessel (15) that divides a hot collector (6) over a core (4) from a substantially annular cold collector (7) surrounding the hot collector; housed in the cold collector (7) is a plurality of integrated circulation and heat-exchange assemblies (20), each of which includes a pump (9), two heat exchangers (10) set at the sides of the pump, and a conveying structure (21) through which a primary fluid (8) for cooling the core passes from the pump to the heat exchanger, all of which are fixedly connected to one another to form a unitary structure; each integrated assembly has an inlet (26) connected to the hot collector (6) and two outlet sections (34) in the cold collector (7).
