Steam-Cooled Reactor Feasibility Study: Steam Water Reactor (SWR), Volume 1 (Sections 1-6)

Description: Report presenting the results of an investigation of the technical feasibility and economic attractiveness of a 200 MWₑ power reactor using natural uranium fuel, a heavy water moderator, and a high pressure and temperature stream coolant. A representative of the reactor design is described along with a reference design selected from a number of design variations. A parametric survey of possible steam-cooled D₂0-moderated reactor designs is included. Mechanical design studies are presented of cr… more

Steam-Cooled Reactor Feasibility Study: Steam Water Reactor (SWR), Volume 2 (Sections 7 and 8)

Description: Report containing appendices accompanying a steam-cooled reactor feasibility study that include details of the study design related to three categories of fuel element designs: 7-rod cluster, 19-rod cluster, and concentric tubes. Power and coolant cycle, heat transfer and fluid flow, reactor orientation, fuel element design, pressure tube insulation, radioactivity, and the boiling-super heating reactor are described. Details of the Babcock & Wilcox Company evaluations and design diagrams are al… more
