Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an energy conversion cycle for the steam produced by a sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor having a first stage, in which a first expansion of steam coming from a steam generator (2) associated with the reactor (1) is performed to bring the steam from a "fossil fuel cycle" initial state (21) to an intermediate state of temperature and pressure of said steam corresponding to a "nuclear cycle" initial state (22), a second stage in which a second expansion of the steam from the intermediate state (22) is performed until steam in a first wet state (23) situated below the steam saturation curve (S) is obtained, a third stage in which the steam is dried and super-heated, and a fourth stage in which a third expansion of the steam is performed from the super-heated state (24) thereof to a second wet state (25).
