NUCLEAR REACTOR HEAT EXCHANGE, MODERATION, AND SHIELDING SYSTEM
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4134184
A nuclear reactor system rts described which uses a single medium to accomplish all the heat exchanging and some or all of the moderation and shielding. The medium is a metallic hydride, preferably lithium or zirconium hydride, which undergoes thermal dissociation in the reactor and is passed to a heat exchanger where the exothermic recombination reaction takes place. A two- reactor system is described in which H/sub 2/ gas alone is transferred cyclically between the two reactors. Two embodiments of the application of the system to nuclear aircraft propulsion are shown. (D.L.C.)
