Title: HEAVY WATER MODERATED POWER REACTOR PLANTS--DESIGN STUDY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4183228

Studies of basic design parameters for heavy water moderated reactor plants and systems of prototype plants and further development program requirements are examined. The general objective was to assure maximum utilization of currently available information in the design of the components and systems of the plants. While each part of the study was evaluated in terms of its effect on the plsnt design, as well as other factors related to performance cbaracteristics, construction, operating costs, and the constraction schedule; it is a general conclusion that no major changes are required in the design of either the prototype plant or the full-scale plant on the basis of the parameters studied. To this extent, the studies provided confirmation of the major decisions affecting plant designs which were made during Parts 1 and 2 of the study. (auth)
