ABWR PL-2 REFERENCE DESIGN REPORT. Jan. 15, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4164163
The reference design of a Portable Boiling Water Reactor Plant with a net electric output of up to 1000 kw and a net space heat output of 400 kw is presented. The total reactor thermal power is 8.8 Mw and the design life of the core is three full power years. The principle objectives which governed the reference design are: (l) The plant should be air transportable by C-130A aircraft. (2) The plant should be designed for minimum installed cost consistent with a maximum degree of reliability. (3) The plant should be designed for minimum down time. This design is a development of the SL-1 prototype which hns operated successfully for more than one year. Automatic reactor pressure control by rod motion, direct air condensing with air recirculation, and the use of condensate for auxiliary coolant are concepts which have been successfully demonstrated at the prototype facility.
