OSTI ID:4236398

In considering suitable reactor systems for nuclear ship propulsion for ships in the 15,000-39,000 dwt class, the Hawker Siddeley Co. decided the internally cooled liquid metal fuel reactor showed promise. The reactor system uses graphite as the moderator and a bismuth uranium solution as the fuel. The coolant can be a gas (He) or bismuth. Design, coolant and circuits, and pressure vessel are discussed briefly. (W.D.M.)
