Title: HEAVY WATER MODERATED POWER REACTOR PLANT. PART 1. DESIGN STUDY. PART 2. PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE PROTOTYPE PLANT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4237178

The full-scale plant recommended as a result of a study of six D/sub 2/O moderated concepts utilizes a direct cycle, boiling D/sub 2/O reactor-turbine system to produce 208 Mw(e) net output. D/sub 2/O steam is produced in the tubes of a pressure tube type reactor. Power production costs are 12.609 and 11.181 mills/kwh for natural and enriched uranium. A preliminary design of a 65 Mw(e) prototype plant is presented. (W.D.M.)
