G21C 1/18

coolant being pressurised

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Reactor types > Thermal reactors > Heterogeneous reactors, i.e. in which fuel and moderator are separated > moderator being substantially not pressurised, e.g. swimming-pool reactor > moderator and coolant being different or separated, e.g. sodium-graphite reactor > coolant being pressurised

CPC:

Reactor types > Thermal reactors > Heterogeneous reactors, i.e. in which fuel and moderator are separated > moderator being substantially not pressurised, e.g. swimming-pool reactor (G21C1/22 takes precedence) > moderator and coolant being different or separated, e.g. sodium-graphite reactor > coolant being pressurised

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.
