HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH POWER HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEAR REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4085513
A gas-cooled graphite-moderated power reactor was designed in which fuel elements can be replaced during reactor operation. In this reactor, fuel elements are supported in horizontal radial channels in the core which is arranged as a rotor or turret within a stationary reflector. Fuel elements are loaded at the periphery of the core and are stepwise moved toward the center as burn-up proceeds. A central plenum within the core provides an inlet coolant passage and a spent fuel dump. Nitrogen at approximately 500 psi pressure is used as coolant. (D.L.C.)
