Heat pipe reactor core and heat exchangers formation and deployment
Abstract
A heat pipe reactor may include a reactor core and one or more heat exchangers positioned on one or both sides of the reactor core. The heat pipe reactor may also include a plurality of heat pipes extending from the reactor core and out through the one or more heat exchangers. The reactor core may be composed of a plurality of monolithic blocks.
