Abstract
A first annular space is formed between a cylindrical baffle and the reactor vessel and a second annular space is formed between the baffle and a counter-baffle. The level of liquid metal coolant is free within the two annular spaces which are separated by the baffle. The top edge of the baffle has a profile such that they supply of "cold" liquid metal which overflows into the discharge space takes place without breaking away from the baffle wall.
