; ; ; ; ;
The BBC/Krupp high-temperature reactor uses graphite spheres filled with 20% enriched uranium carbide as fuel and thorium carbide as breeder material. The reactor coolant is a mixture of helium and neon. The steam generator produces superheated steam at 505 deg C and 75 atm. A detailed description is given of the safety problems and the decontamination arrangements for the primary gas circuits. (auth)
