PRELIMINARY DESIGN DESCRIPTION FOR THE PIQUA ORGANIC MODERATED REACTOR PLANT, PIQUA, OHIO

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4270039
The Piqua OMR has a rating of 45.5 Mwt and in conjunction with steam generating equipment produces 150,000 lb/hr of steam for use in existing turbine generators. Approximately 11.4 Mw of electricity will be generated when the reactor is operating at full power. The reactor uses slightly-enriched, metallic uranium alloy as a fuel and is cooled and moderated by an organic hydrocarbon, Santowax R, a commercially available mixture of terphenyls. (A C.)
