    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling system (1) for evacuation of decay heat of irradiated fuel elements of a nuclear reactor. The system (1) substantially consists of heat conductive elements (4), preferably shaped as plates, of high conductivity material and of a handling device (51) to move the elements (4) with respect to the fuel element (3) to be cooled, which is of the type formed by a plurality of elementary structures (7) made of fuel material one beside the other, for instance bars. Each element (4) has a first portion (4a), which in use may be inserted into the fuel element between the elementary structure to receive heat therefrom and transfer heat by conduction to a second portion (4b), which in use remains outside the fuel element and is cooled by a cooling gas.

    Abstract: A system (7) for evacuating the residual heat from a nuclear reactor (1) cooled with liquid metal or molten salts has two types of heat exchangers (8) immersed in the primary fluid (5) of the reactor (1) : heat exchangers (8a) with higher power density, which use boiling water as secondary cooling fluid (9) and are particularly suitable for evacuating the residual heat in the first days after turning-off of the reactor; and heat exchangers (8b) operating with atmospheric air or with water and suitable for evacuating the residual heat for indefinite periods of time. Both types of heat exchangers present a bundle of heat -exchange elements (35), shaped in such a way that the secondary fluid (9) circulating in each element (35) is separated from the primary fluid (5) of the reactor (1) by a double wall (40, 41) of the element (35), which delimits a gap (42) introduced in which is a pressurized inert gas having the function of continuous monitoring of the integrity of the heat exchanger (8) and of thermal resistance calibrated for preventing solidification of the primary fluid (5) of the reactor (1) in the heat exchanger (8).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) for evacuating the residual heat from a nuclear reactor (2), wherein the residual heat is evacuated by irradiation from the main tank (3) of the nuclear reactor towards a ring of substantially U-shaped tubes (15), inside which external air circulates in natural circulation and which are arranged circumferentially around the tank (3). The tubes (15) are grouped together in modules (11), each of which is made up of a set of U-shaped tubes (15) inserted inside one another with respective side-by-side branches (16) facing the tank (3) and arranged on opposite sides of a common central axis (X) and laterally separated from one another by empty spaces. A radiant heat reflecting wall (30), which also constitutes a structure (33) for containing an insulation filling (34) of the nuclear-reactor well (5), is set behind the tubes (15) with respect to the tank (3) to reflect back onto the tubes (15) the radiant heat passing through the empty spaces between one tube (15) and another. The reflecting wall (30) is shaped in such a way as to be partially inserted between the branches (16) of the tubes (15) to define a longitudinal channel (31) set substantially around each branch (16).
