Description/Abstract:
THIS REPORT DESCRIBES IN DETAIL THE FAST SUPERCRITICAL PRESSURE POWER REACTOR (FSPPR) CORE DESIGN, INCLUDING FUEL ELEMENT ASSEMBLY, AND THE COOLANT ASSEMBLY. THE CORE WAS SUBDIVIDED BY A THIN LAYER OF MODERATING MATERIAL AND IS DESCRIBED AS "MODERATOR SEGMENTED". BATCH OPERATION WITH AVERAGE GOAL EXPOSURE OF 100,000 MWD/TON IS PREFERRED. GIVES DESIGN SUMMARY AND CONSIDERS SAFETY.
