The diverse directions of LMFBR development in the national programs, here and abroad, have established that both the loop-type and the pool-type of primary coolant systems should be considered to be viable options for an LMFBR power plant of practical size. Recognizing that the U.S. technological base for the pool-type plant was significantly smaller than that for the loop-type, a study of a 1000-MWe pool-type plant was initiated, concentrating on the areas of the plant unique to the pool concept. A four-volume interim report is the second presentation of results in this continuing study. Volume 2 deals with (1) nuclear steam supply system characteristics, (2) fabricability and constructibility, and (3) key pool-related design characteristics.
