The reactor system is of the solid fuel homogeneous type, employing graphite as moderator and helium as coolant. The fuel and fertile material (Th/ sup 232/) are in the form of carbides dispersed in the moderator. The design outlet gas temperature from the reactor will be l380 deg F at 350 psia with steam conditions of 1000 deg F at l450 psi. The plant will produce 40 Mw(e). The nuclear steam supply system, conventional equipment, containment, plant operation, radioactive effluents, and safety analysis are discussed. Radioactive inventories, site description, meteorology, hydrology, and geology are given. (W.D.M.)
