DEFINITION

Classification: 376/402

Manipulated or used exterior of reactor core:

(under subclass 361) Subject matter wherein the fluid circulating within the reactor core area is a coolant which has energy (e.g., thermal or kinetic) added to or removed therefrom (e.g., by a heat exchanger, pump, or turbine) exterior of the reactor core.
