NUCLEAR REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4200264
A reactor design is described in which advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors are combined. The core consists of 19 Zr wire baskets which contain the U Pellets. A mechanism for charging the pellets into the baskets is provided. The core vessel is filled with D/sub 2/O containing U and D/ sub 2/SO/sub 4/ which moderates and cools the fuel and is passed through heat exchangers and separation equipment. Undissolved pellets are removed at the bottom and reprocessed. The coolant-moderator solution is continuously processed for removal of Pu and fission products and reconstitution. (T.R.H.)
