Pool-type LMFBR plant, 1000 MWe Phase A design. Executive summary
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, this study of a 1000 MWe-type plant was concentrated on the areas of the plant unique to the pool concept to establish a more adequate basis for reassessment of the pool concept. The work concluded to date indicates that the pool concept is feasible with respect to design, construction and licensing practices in the United States.
