Nuclear reactor exchanger which assures the transfer of heat between two streams of coolant sodium. It includes an outlet connector which channels coolant sodium leaving a bundle of exchanger tubes traversed on the inside by the sodium and immersed externally in coolant sodium, and an inner tubular jacket forming a surface of revolution about a vertical axis and an outer tubular jacket. The wall of the inner jacket has a folded portion distinguished by at least one flank in the form of a crown.
