Current status of Canadian organic cooled reactor technology
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4557804
Canada has been operating the first organic cooled D{sub 2}O moderated pressure tube reactor (WR-1) since November 1965. The operation of WR-1 and the supporting development programs at the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment are of direct interest to those seeking to exploit the advantages of organic coolants. The technical feasibility of the concept along with the current status of the technology are covered in the paper. The excellent performance of WR-1 indicates that, as yet, no insurmountable technical limitation faces the designers of organic cooled reactors.
