Abstract
A fast reactor comprises a core composed of nuclear fuel, a core barrel surrounding an outer periphery of the core, an annular reflector surrounding an outer periphery of the core barrel, a partition wall structure surrounding an outer periphery of the annular reflector and supporting the core barrel by a supporting structure arranged radially of the fast reactor, the partition wall structure constituting an inner wall of a coolant passage for a primary coolant, a neutron shield surrounding an outer periphery of the partition wall structure and disposed in the coolant passage, a reactor vessel surrounding an outer periphery of the neutron shield and having an inner wall constituting an outer wall of the coolant passage, and a guard vessel surrounding an outer periphery of the reactor vessel.
