Title: SOVIET NUCLEAR POWER PLANT WITH BWGR TYPE GRAPHITE REACTOR AND HIGH PRESSURE STEAM SUPERHEATER

Journal Article · · Energetyka (Poland)
OSTI ID:4811960

A description is given of a boiling water graphite reactor with steam superheating in the core. Experience gathered from operation of the Obinsk power plant since June l954 contributed decisively to the construction of a 200 Mw nuclear power plant in Belouralsk, which is scheduled to become operative in 1961. The plant has two improved reactors of the light water graphite moderated, heterogeneous type. Data on the reactors include: thermal power 285 Mw, electrical power 100 Mw, average fuel life 730 days, fuel charge 90 tons, initlal uranium enrichment 1.3%, shut-down enrichment 1.03%, average burn-up of U/sup 235/ 2.7 kg/t, and average thermal fuel utilization 2300 Mwd/t.
