OSTI ID:4829832

The technological status and economic potential of steamcooled (nuclear superheating) power reactors were studied. The following concepts were selected for detailed analyses: Graphite-Mloderated Boiling and Superheating Reactor, Integral Boiling and Superheating Reactor, Integral Superheating Reactor, Mlixed- Spectrum Superheating Reactor, Once-Through Superheating Reactor, Pressure-Tube Superheating Reactor, Steam-Cooled D/O Moderated Reactor, Steam-cooled Fast Breeder Reactor, Separate Superheating Reactor, and Zirconium Hydride-Moderated Boiling and Superheating Reactor.
