Bulk outlet temperature limits and increased reactor power levels

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10106447· OSTI ID:10106447
In a recent report by J.R. Young means of circumventing the present bulk temperature limits are suggested. These have definite merit but do not present an overall picture of the problem. Therefore this bulk temperature limit is reviewed in order to place the problem in its full perspective. A program of action is suggested that should land to either: Revised operating conditions and process piping to obtain higher power levels at the same bulk outlet temperature, or the completion of production tests to permit higher bulk outlet temperatures with no significant changes in reactor piping.
