Abstract

A steam power station, in particular a nuclear power station, includes a steam conduit leading through a wall and forming a fixed point with the wall for the introduction of forces and moments. A main valve is connected to the steam conduit at the fixed point, without a high-pressure pipe being interposed. Satellite valves, which have smaller nominal widths than the main valve, are fastened to the housing of the main valve, without a high-pressure pipe being interposed. At least one additional valve has a housing fastened to the housing of a satellite valve, without a high-pressure pipe being interposed and without any support.
