The ornl gas-cooled reactor: part 4. Plant design
These four parts were issued separately, but are cataloged as a unit. A conceptual design is given for a helium cooled, graphite moderated reactor using enriched UO2 fuel in stainless steel capsules. This study is based on existing technology. The reactor is designed to produce a gross thermal power output of 687 Mw. The net electrical power output of the design specification for such a plant should be 1000 deg F gas temperature. Part II contains detailed information on gascooled reactor physics, materials, fuel elements, and the reactor. Part III deals with the details of the gas system, instrumentation and controls, operating procedures, and the steam system. Part IV gives the proposed plant design, the cost analysis, heat transfer performance, the reactor support and charging machine, fuel element cost data, and design data for British and U. S. gas-cooled reactors.
