Some Practical Aspects of the Use of Nuclear Energy in Steel Industry; L'ENERGIE NUCLEAIRE EN SIDERURGIE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4282525
The energy needs and energy consumptions of the iron and steel industries are surveyed for the possibility of using a nuclear reactor to supply some of this energy. The use of a nuclear reactor to preheat the air of the blast furnaces is considered as a typical example. The activation of the dust particles by the reactor neutron flux creates a radiation problem which is discussed. An economic appraisal shows that in the French industry, nuclear reactor heating might be feasible. (J.S.R.)
