OSTI ID:4154804
A description is given of the preliminary design of a 30Mw electricity generating sthtion of the gas-cooled reactor type. The design calls for 2.16% enriched uranium dioxide fuel contained by sthinless steel, a graphite moderator, a carbon dioxide coolant, and average burn-up of 10,000 Mwd/tonne uranium. Longitudinal and transverse cross sections through the reactor and reactor hall are given showing the arrangements for fuel handling, core, and biological shield. An analysis of the generating costs results shows a total cost of 1.39 pence/kwh. (B.O.G.)
