Summary:The invention relates to an assembly (1) for the construction of a nuclear reactor, comprising: a vessel (3) intended to house a nuclear reactor core; and a prefabricated structure (2) having a shell allowing the prefabricated structure (2) to be used as a floating structure. According to the invention, the prefabricated structure (2) comprises at least: a basin (17) defining at least part of the shell of the prefabricated structure (2); and a sealed chamber (19) disposed inside the basin (17), the vessel (3) being placed inside the chamber (19). The basin (17) is provided in order to cool the chamber (19) under accident conditions and/or to serve as a cold source that supplies a safety cooling circuit (14) of the nuclear reactor.
