STEAM-COOLED POWER REACTOR (in German)

OSTI ID:4308038
A special possibility to use a steam cooled reactor in a nuclear power station is described. Water steam as a coolant is superheated by passing through a heterogeneous reactor. At the outlet such an amount is bled off to the turbine plant, that the remaining steam can be cooled back to the entrance temperature by mixing it with the turbine condensate. As an example, results of a preliminary deslgn study for a 20 Mw plant are given. The reactor is moderated by light water and uses enriched urarium oxide in stainless steel tubes as fuel. The net power costs of the plant are estimated to be 5.7 Pf per kwh. (auth)
