Abstract
In a nuclear power plant of the type having closed gas coupling circuit, a high temperature reactor is enclosed by one concrete pressure structure; enclosed by another concrete structure separate form and adjacent to the reactor are the related operating components of the power plant such as turbine and compressor units, coolers, heat exchangers, etc. and the housing structures of these individual operating components, such as those which enclose and support the guide blading of the turbo-machines(turbines and compressors) as well as all interconnecting pipe lines and the pipe lines to and form the reactor serve as lost i.e. cast in forms around which concrete is poured on the construction site thereby to form a machine block. The drive shaft form the turbine projects outwardly from the machine block for connection to the electric generator.
