ARMY GAS-COOLED REACTOR SYSTEMS PROGRAM. STUDY OF MOBILE GAS-COOLED NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4665792
The results of a study to evaluate the feasibility of the use of an unmoderated, europoium-poisoned reactor in a mobile gas-cooled nuclear power plant are presented. A comparison was made between the characteristics of such a reactor and those of the HDMR (High Density Moderated Reactor). It was concludcd that although the concept under study has attractive thermodynamic characteristics (which can be utilized to provide a margin of design flexibility) in the overall evaluation, this concept is not superior to the HDMR.
