Summary:The present invention relates to an intermediate heat exchanger-incorporated type steam generator provided with an intermediate heating exchanger tube and a steam generating heat exchanger tube separately in the interior of a vessel, and having a function of generating steam by forcibly circulating a secondary coolant (intermediate coolant) in the vessel to thereby subject the coolant to heat exchange. This technique is especially useful for a steam generator in a liquid sodium-cooled reactor. An intermediate heat exchanger-incorporated type steam generator having an intermediate heat exchanger tube and a steam generating heat exchanger tube disposed separately in a vessel storing a secondary coolant therein. A pump mechanism is made of an electromagnetic pump mechanism formed by an electromagnetic driving coil provided on an outer circumference of the vessel and a magnetic core attached to an inner cylinder disposed in the vessel. At least one porous plate or slotted plate is preferably disposed between the intermediate heat exchanger tube and steam generating heat exchanger tube.
