Engineering studies. Heavy water moderated reactor plants
Design and economic aspects of 300-, 500-, and 1000Mw(e) heavy water- moderated power reactors are illustrated and the computer codes used in the analyses are discussed. The plant concepts all use pressure tube type reactors with cold heavy water as moderator and are cooled by: liquid heavy water, boiling heavy water, organic liquids, and light water fog. The liquid heavy water-cooled and organic-cooled reactors are used in an indirect cycle while the boiling heavy water- and light water fog-cooled reactors operate in a direct cycle. The use of large heavy water-moderated reactors as an energy source in desalination plants which would produce electrical power and fresh water is evaluated. Cost estimates together with several illustrations of the plant designs for this application are presented. (N.W.R.)
