OSTI ID:4153538
The research and development program by CE-GNEC will cover work aimed at establishing the technological and economic feasibility of producing superheated steam from a boiling water reactor. The following broad categories of design, engineering, research, and development are discussed. Development of preliminary reference design criteria for a 200-Mw(e) boiling-superheating reactor which produces steams at 1050 deg F and 1200 psig; theoretical and experimental studies on the peculiar nuclear problems in a boiling-superheating reactor; steam-water separators for thp superheating region; development of final reference design criteria for a 200-Mw(e) reactor; and development work on specific problems pertaining to the 17.3-Mw(e) Boiling Nuclear Superheater Reactor (BONUS) being designed for the Puerto Rico Water Resources Authority. Work on BONUS includes structural restraint of fuel elements, heat transfer tests simulating loss of steam coolant, insulation and seal connector development, and control development. (W.D.M.)
