THE THERMAL CYCLE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS EQUIPPED WITH GAS-COOLED REACTORS

Journal Article · · Tech. Dig. (Prague)
OSTI ID:4791988
The standard thermal cycle of nuclear power plants incorporates a secondary circuit in which superheated steam produced at two pressures in a steam generator is utilized in a condensing turbine. Thus, the optimum thermal cycle for the given parameters of the reactor and the optimum conditions of the steam cycle are discussed in order to obtain optimum performance requiremeats for the secondary circuit. The problems are discussed with regard to the possible combination of nuclear and fossil fuels. The gas temperature at the reactor outlet is taken to range between 400 and 600 deg C. (N.W.R.)
