A PARAMETRIC STUDY OF A GAS COOLED REACTOR
The results of a parametric study on a gas cooled reactor are repotrtd. The system considered was a heliumcooled, UC/sup 2/-fueled arrargement with fuel assemblies consisting of clusters of long cylindrical elements, each element covered by a stainless steel jacket. The axial power distribution was assumed to be a chopped cosine having an axial peak-to-average power of 1.32. The three parameters of interest in the study were the diameter of coolant channel, pressure drop through core, and pumping Ppwer expended. The analysis is presented for the central channel. (auth)
