GAS-COOLED NEUTRONIC REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4019506
A refractory fueled nuclear reactor incorporating an active portion comprising a mass of solid refractory neutron moderator having a multiplicity of vertical coolant channels is described. Discrete, fissionable, fuel-bearing masses are suspended in the coolant channels. The fuel bearing masses contain from 1 to 4 wt.% U/sup 2//sup 3//sup 5/. The channels are arranged so that a gaseous coolant can be continuously passed through them. Means to control the reactivity of the active portion are also given. The principal fuel constituent is UO/sub 2/. The moderator is graphite; the coolant is helium. Each channel is provided with equally spaced guiding recesses for engaging hangers. Locking means are provided for at least one location of each channel to prevent fuel hangers from sliding with recesses. (N.W.R.)
