Design and Feasibility Study of a Pebble Bed Reactor-Steam Power Plant

Description: Originally issued as S and P 1963A, Parts I and II. This report covers a design and feasibility study of a pebble bed reactor-steam power plant of 125 megawatt electrical output. The reactor design which evolved from this study is a two-region thermal breeder, operating on the uranium-thorium cycle, in which all core structural materials are graphite. Fuel is in the form of unclad spherical elements of graphite, containing fissile and fertile material. The primary loop consists of the reactor … more

The Pebble Bed Reactor Program

Description: Several different types of experimental facilities have been evaluated to determine the most suitable and economical means of demonstrating the technical feasibility of the Pebble Bed Reactor concept. The criteria for demonstrating technical feasibility are: 1) bulk irradiation of fuel elements in order to obtain statistical data on performance, 2) Maintenance of system activity at specified levels, and 3) Feasible maintenance procedures. An additional criterion, which is required to achieve b… more
