BELGIAN THERMAL REACTOR (BR-3)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4315712
The BR-3 may be the first commercially purchased nuclear power plant and the first nuclear power plant designed and fabricated in thae United States for export. It is a pressurized water plant. Capacity will be 11.5 Mwe. Its core will consist of uranium oxide pellets contained within stainless steel tubes. The core will have two regions. The initial enrichment of the outer half will be 4.43%, that of the inner, 3.29%. Operating pressures are to be 2000 psia in the primary system and 520 psia in the steam side. The steam will be dry but saturated. The rods will be of silver-indiumcadmium, smd will be supplemented by a boron compound in solution for cold shutdowns. (auth)
