Staron, F J; Johnson, L M

The reference design of a Portable Boiling Water Reactor Plant with a net electric output of up to 250 kw and a net space heat output of 400 kw is presented. The total reactor thernnal pewer is 3.6 Mw, and the design life of the core is 8 full power years. The principle objectives which have governed the reference design are: (1) the plant shall be air tnansportable by C-130A aircraft; (2) the plant shall be designed for minimum installed cost consistent with a maximium degree of reliability; and (3) the plant shall be designed for minimum down time. This design is a development of the SL-1 Protype which has 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.
