There is only one U tube boiler steam generator. Like propulsion reactors, the SG is placed above the core. In contrast to standard SGs, the present generator has an axial symmetry. The hot leg is located in the centre and the cold leg is located in periphery.

XIX-3.6. Operating point

According to the results from a low pressure PWR studies, SCOR operates at a pressure of 88 bars. The secondary pressure at the turbine inlet is 30 bars, which is lower than that of standard PWRs. The net thermodynamic efficiency is 31,5%, slightly smaller than that of standard PWRs.

XIX-4.1. Decay heat removal systems

Since the reactor has only one steam generator, the decay heat removal systems are diversified on both the primary and secondary circuit.
