A CONCEPTUAL STUDY OF A 100 KW GAS COOLED REACTOR POWER PLANT FOR A REMOTE LOCATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4353556
An analysis and design study is presented for a gascooled reactor suitable for supplying 100 kw of electrical energy and 400 kw of heat to a distant early warning radar station. The graphite reflector-moderated reactor with UO/sub 2/-- stainless steel fuel elements is helium cooled. The helium is also the working fluid for a closed cycle regenerative gas turbine power plant. The plant, which requires only one operator at the console at all times, is designed for packaging in the continental United Sates, shipment by air to a remote base, and erection on a permafrost site during the four-month construction season.
