DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4787272· OSTI ID:4787272
Engineering design considerations are presented for a group of nuclear reactors using panticulate fuel capable of being fluidized in liquid media. Reactor designs considered include; UO/sub 2/ -sodium-graphite thermal reactors; U-233-Li-7-BeO thermal breeder; UO/sub 2/-PuO/sub 2/ -fueledsodium cooled; and UC- PuC fueled-sodium cooled. Heat transfer and fluid dynamics are discussed for both the axial and radial flow cases. (B.O.G.)
