QUASI HOMOGENEOUS NUCLEAR REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4834301

Aquasi homogeneous reactor comprises a reactor tank filled with cylindrically shaped, hollow bodies enclosed circulates in the interspacer between the bodies. Each hollow body enclosing the fuel comprises a cylindrical layer of fuel clad with a metal or no-metal layer protecting it against corrosion. The fuel may be composed of a ceramic substance that is homogeneously mixed with the fissile material, the whole being covered with a supplementary ceramic layer that prevents escape of fission products into the coolant. In another form the hollow fuel bodies are constituted by uranium carbide, with or without a protecting layer. (NPO)
