CHARACTERISTIC QUALITIES OF SOME ATOMIC POWER STATIONS (in Hungarian)
Mostly as the result of economic factors, the current rate of construction of public atomic power stations has slowed down. The use of atomic energy is considered economical only in a few special cases, such as ship propulsion or supplying power to remote regions. For this reason, many reactors were designed especially for the construction of such midget'' power stations, operating at power levels ranging from 10 to 70 Mw. Technical details are given of such already-built or proposed systems, including the following: pressurized- water reactors such as the Babcock and Wilcox 60-Mw reactor, using 2.4% U/sup 235/ fuel; the Humphrey-Glasow Company's 20 Mw reactor; the gascooled system of the de Havilland Company; the organicmoderated reactor of the English Electric Company; the organic-moderated system of the Hawker-Siddeley Nuclear Power Company; the boiling-water reactor of the Mitchell Engineering Company and the steam-cooled, heavy-water reactor of the Rolls-Royce & Vickers Company.
