BOILING NUCLEAR SUPERHEATER (BONUS) PROJECT. Interim Report
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4236476
A review of superheater concepts was completed, and design analysis leading to establishment of general design features for the proposed prototype were carried out. Two design concepts were developed and are described. In a typical boiling reactor producing saturated steam at 900 psig only about 28% of the heat energy is converted into electricity. If the temperature of this steam were raised from 534 deg to 900 deg F through introduction of additional energy, 50 to 60% of this additional energy could be converted to electricity. Saturated steam will be normally produced in the boiling zone of the reactor at 900 psig and 534 deg F. The temperature of the steam will be raised to 900 to 950 deg F as it passes through the superheater zone. Slightly enriched UO/sub 2/ appears to be the most logical choice of fuel material in both the boiling and superheater regions. (A.C.)
