OSTI ID:4055209
A study was made of the application of an organic moderated reactor (OMR) for propulsion of a 5O,OOO-ton marine tanker. The reactor core concept was that of a uniformly loaded, slightly enriched, hydrocarbon moderated and cooled core. Discussions of the organic purification system, gas handling system, piping and instrumentation diagram, reactor core layout, fuel element locking device, fuel handling system and radiation shielding calculations are included. A three-group diffusion model was used to investigate the behavior of neutrons in a flat thermal flux core. (M.C.G.)
