A nuclear power plant which includes a closed loop power generation circuit making use of helium as the working fluid. The plant further includes a helium inventory control system which includes a plurality of helium storage tanks whereby helium can be fed into or removed from the power generation circuit. Each helium storage tank is provided with a heat sink so that the tank has a relatively high thermal inertia which in turn restricts the temperature variation within the storage tank as a result of the introduction of helium into and/or the withdrawal of helium from the storage tank. This permits the optimization of the design of the storage tanks.
L'invention porte sur une centrale nucléaire comportant un circuit de génération de puissance en boucle fermée utilisant de l'hélium comme fluide caloporteur, et sur son procédé d'exploitation. La centrale possède un système de gestion de la quantité d'hélium comportant plusieurs cuves de stockage d'hélium permettant de l'introduire dans le circuit de génération ou de l'en retirer. Chacune des cuves de stockage comporte un dissipateur thermique lui conférant une inertie thermique relativement élevée qui à son tour réduit les variations de température consécutives à l'introduction et/ou au prélèvement d'hélium dans la cuve, ce qui permet d'optimiser la conception desdites cuves.
