UNDERGROUND VERTICAL SHAFTS AND NUCLEAR REACTORS USING THE SAME
Nuclear power plants include vertical shafts housing a reactor and plant equipment connected between the shafts. Shafts may be formed with VSM to nuclear standards, and a basemat may be poured at the bottom, which is compatible with reactor designs such as a simplified boiling water reactors, small modular reactors, advanced reactors and sodium cooled fast reactors. Additional plant systems may be placed in further shafts and connected through side-travelling tunnels that pass through the shafts. The plant may be segregated by safety class among different shafts. Floors, which may be modular and prefabricated with full equipment for delivery at the shaft, may be vertically lowered into appropriate shafts and seated to walls of the shaft. Equipment can be connected between floors by running connections along shaft walls.
