Abstract: The present paper aims to propose an original steam generation system, which resulted suitable for the application to the secondary loops of lead-cooled fast reactors: reaction heat is extracted from the lead by means of a coolant under vapor phase, thanks to both an external feed-water boiling and special bayonet tubes in the primary–secondary fluid heat exchangers.
