THE LIQUID METAL FUEL REACTOR FOR CENTRAL STATION POWER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4271120
A central station nuclear steam power plant employing the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor, developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory, was designed by a group of utility and power apparatus engineers working at the Laboratory. Using high temperature liquid bismuth as the fuel and breeder blanket carrier, the LMFR couples the advantages of high cyclic efficiency and continuous fuel and blanket processing to produce competitive nuclear power. Steam produced in forced flow, once-through boilers enters the 200 Mw turbine generator at 1250 psig at 900 F. The presentation includes descriptions of the liquid metal fuel and blanket systems, plant and piping layouts, control schemes, cost estimates, and descriptions of both normal and emergency operation.
