L'installation de réacteur est disposée dans la cavité interne de la tour de l'installation énergétique éolienne. La fonction de l'enceinte hermétique de l'installation de réacteur pour la protection du personnel et de la population contre les rayonnements ionisants assure une protection anti-radiations, et se présente sous forme d'une structure annulaire entourant le réacteur nucléaire de l'extérieur en face de la zone active. La fonction de l'enceinte hermétique pour empêcher la propagation des substances radioactives libérées au-delà de l'enceinte hermétique, ainsi que la fonction de l'enceinte hermétique pour la protection de l'installation de réacteur contre des actions externes extrêmes naturelles et d'origine humaine sont assurées par les parois de la tour de l'installation énergétique éolienne et par des cloisons complémentaires, des sas étanches et des passages étanches dans les parois de ladite tour. Le résultat technique consiste en l'exclusion de la nécessité d'édification d'une construction distincte dont la vocation principale serait de remplir la fonction d'enceinte hermétique pour empêcher la propagation des substances radioactives libérées et de protéger l'installation de réacteur contre des actions externes extrêmes.
