Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a nuclear plant including a main power system and a fuel handling and storage system. The system is connected to a sphere inlet and a sphere outlet of a multi-pass high temperature gas cooled pebble bed reactor. The system is configured such that gas flows from the system into the reactor through both the sphere inlet and the sphere outlet thereby inhibiting the ingress of high temperature gas from the reactor into the system. Restricting indexers permit the movement of spheres between the reactor and the system and dampen out the transmission of pressure fluctuations from the power system to the system.
