Title: EVALUATION AND DESIGN HEAVY WATER MODERATED POWER REACTOR PLANTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4048891

The 200 and 300 Mw(e) boiling D/sub 2/O direct-cycle plant designs have undergone design revisions which substantially affect their power costs. The revisions resulted from incorporating improvemerts, that were originally made for the 70 Mw(e) direct-cycle prototype plant, into the full-scale plant designs. The results of other studies which relate directly to heavy water moderated reactors, particularly to those cooled by boiling D/sub 2/O, are summarized. The investigations were concerned with D/sub 2/O equipment component leakage, power plant construction materials and plant arrangements. (auth)
