INSTRUMENTATION FOR A SUBCRITICAL HOMOGENEOUS SUSPENSION REACTOR. I. REASONS BEHIND THE CHOICE OF A HOMOGENEOUS SUSPENSION REACTOR

Journal Article · · Philips Technical Review (Netherlands)
OSTI ID:4095276
In the KEMA laboratories at Arnhem a one-zone homogeneous suspension- type reactor is in development. The choice fe1l on a one-zone homogeneous reactor with circulating fuel in the form of a suspension of ThO/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ particles in heavy water. The fissile material, U/sup 233/, is bred in the reactor itself from Th/sup 232/. The first step in the development program was to build an experimental subcritical reactor of this type, but operated on a suspension of UO/sub 2/ particles (natural uranium with 20% U/sup 235/) in ordinary water. Numerous measurements have been carried out on this reactor, among them the determination of the critical concentration of fissile material. (auth)
