CONCEPTUAL DESIGN: PROTOTYPE BOILING WATER REACTOR (50 MWe)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4054516
A report is presented which contains pertinent design, construction, and other descriptive information related to a boiling-water reactor power plant having a net electrical output of about 50,000 kw. The primary purpose of the plant is to demonstrate the potential of high specific power in the reactor core and the ability to sustain long fuel exposure. The design parameters were selected to demonstrate as closely as practicable the desired conditions for a 250 Mw(e) boiling-water reactor plant. Included are descriptions of the reactor, turbine plant, auxiliary systems, buildings and site, and construction schedule. (J.R.D.)
