The possibility of fog-cooled heavy water moderated reactors is examined. Data from fundamental studies of fog cooling are reviewed. A system is proposed in which the pressurized heavy water coolant is replaced by wet light water steam. The wet steam or fog is dried and taken directly to the turbine. The system is examined as a possible replacement for the CANDU tyne of reactor. A schematic diagram of a power plant cycle is presented and the flow characteristics and data from a parametric study are discussed. lt is concluded that the concept of fog cooling is efficient and attractive economically.
