NUCLEAR REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4159722
A reactor was invented in which the advantages of D/sub 2/O as moderator and liquid metal as coolant are combined without the use of a pressure vessel. The reactor comprises conduits containing fuel rods and metal coolant running through a tark of D/sub 2/O, the conduits being separated from D/sub 2/O by a jacket of inert gas. thereby keeping D/sub 2/O from boiling. Devices for leak detection are described. The advantages of this reactor design are that, besides the elimination of the pressure vessel, natural or slightly enriched natural uranium can be used as fuel and less fuel can be used. (D.L.C.)
