OSTI ID:4271031
A reactor using gas-cooled UC spheres is described. The spheres are introduced into square channels at the top; coolant gas flows upward around the spheres. The top plate with fuel channel and coolant openings is so arranged that the coolant propels the spheres circularly until they fall into a fuel channel. The spheres are removed at the bottom by a mechanical arrangement in which one sphere at a time is pushed laterally from the bottom of the stack. Provision is included for passing coolant around the graphite core through the reflector to cool the reflector and reactor casing and regulate the temperature of the output coolant. (T.R.H.)
