IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4176407

A gas-cooled graphite-moderated reactor with natural-U fuel is described. The moderator and concrete shield are enclosed in a steel vessel. The fuel elements are finned rods resting in cylindrical channels which open into one central coolant header or two terminal headers. Thus CO/sub 2/ at 5 atm. flows over the fuel elements to give good heat removal with economical pumping power. (T.R.H.)
