A method of regulating the power generated in a nuclear power plant which includes the step of regulating the flow of helium through the reactor. To this end, the power plant includes a closed loop power generation circuit having at least one compressor and a recirculation circuit whereby helium can be recirculated around the compressor. By regulating the flow of helium around the recirculation circuit using suitable valves the flow of helium through the reactor and hence the power generated can be regulated. The plant includes a helium inventory control system whereby the inventory of helium in the power generation circuit can be varied thereby varying the power generated in the circuit.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de réguler l'énergie produite dans une centrale nucléaire, qui comprend pour étape le fait de réguler le flux d'hélium traversant le réacteur. A cet effet, la centrale nucléaire comprend un circuit de production d'énergie à boucle fermée comportant au moins un compresseur et un circuit de recirculation, l'hélium pouvant être mis en recirculation autour du compresseur. Le fait de réguler le flux d'hélium autour du circuit de recirculation à l'aide clapets appropriés permet de réguler le flux d'hélium à travers le réacteur et par conséquent l'énergie produite. La centrale comprend un système de régulation du stock d'hélium et le stock d'hélium dans le circuit de production d'énergie peut être modulé, ce qui permet de moduler l'énergie produite dans le circuit.
