Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4256022
The engineering design of the Dounreay Fast Reactor is reviewed. The basic problems inherent in a small highly-rated system are considered in the light of fundamental principles adopted at the outset. The reactor features are discussed in relation to the core, control system, primary coolant system, liquid metal to water heat exchangers, and multi-circuits for heat rejection. (auth)
