Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Concepts: a Study

One of 774 reports in the series: AEC research and development report available on this site.

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Report describing the performance characteristics of gas-cooled fast reactors, which compare well with those of sodium-cooled fast reactors. With oxide fuel and helium, CO2, and SO2 coolant at pressures of 1000 to 1500 psia, the reactors have slightly higher breeding ratios than comparable sodium-cooled reactors.

Physical Description

xii, 218 p. : ill. ; 28 cm.
