OSTI ID:4196389
The Piqua reactor is rated at44.5 Mw(t). Fuel elements consist of a metallic uranium alloy enriched to 1.9 wt.% U/sup 235/, metallurgically bonded to the aluminum cladding using a nickel diffusion barrier. The air-blast heat exchanger used in the OMRE was replaced by steam generators, the total electrical output of which is 11.4 Mw. Added safety precautions were taken by providing a shielded containment vessel around the reactor and main heat transfer system. Operation is scheduled for 1961. (B.O.G.)
