OSTI ID:4027168

The Dungeness Power Reactor is a gas-cooled reactor of the Calder Hall type. The gas inlet temperature of 250 deg C, in association with a reheat steam cycle and direct steam turbine blower drive, yields a high thermal efficiency with no significant increase in fuel element temperatures. The design of the graphite core, the burst cartridge detection system, gas and steam cycles, and the steam generators are investigated. (T.F.H.)
