105-N charge-discharge rates
Abstract
Figures have and can be generated that indicate a higher charge-discharge rate if required before 105-N will be comparable with existing reactors. Also, these figures show an apparent operating cost incentive to increase the charge-discharge rates proposed for 105-N. Although these figures may be true by themselves, other figures developed from the same information and stated on a basis that affords a true comparison, show that the proposed rates for 105-N are compatible with those in existing reactors. However, the accomplishments of existing reactors should be considered as a guide only and not as Criteria since the design basis has already been established for Project CAI-816. An average charge-discharge rate has been proposed for 105-N that is compatible with the two main ground rules of the Project. Namely, the capital cost limitation and the plant factor. This rate of 8 tubes/hr. is one that appears to be reasonable from the charge-discharge design aspects and there is a good possibility that it can be increased with operational experience.
