NUCLEAR PARAMETER STUDIES OF THE FAST SETTLED-BED REACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4073478
The results of studies on the performance characteristics of fast breeder reactors using the settled-bed concept are discussed. Burnup, temperature coefficients, static characteristics, composition changes, and the effects of bed density shifts in both axial and radial flow geometries were considered. A reactor power of 825 Mw, UC and PuC fuel, UC blanket, 12.8 fuel density, and Na coolant were used. (D.C.W.)
