Feasibility Study on Centrifuge Enrichment of the By-Pass Stream of the Pebble Bed Reactor (Final Report)
- Univ. of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA (United States)
A feasibility study was made of centrifugation as a method of concentrating the contaminants of the Pebble Bed Reactor gas stream. Application was made of the isotope separation theory to derive formulas for the total length of centrifuge needed to attain a given enrichment of a given by-pass flow. Formulas for equilibrium activity were written in terms of the separation theory parameters. Using both sets of formulas, the length of centrifuge vs. the activity reduction for different reactors and by-pass flows could be found. Results were calculated for the 125-Mw(e) Pebble-Bed Reactor.
