Abstract

The moderator structure is placed within a core space limited by a bottom wall, a top wall and a lateral reflector and is constituted by a stack of prismatic or spherical nodules applied in mutual contact in the three dimensions which prevent relative displacements of the nodules and so arranged as to form a lattice of interstices through which the molten salt is circulated.
