Operating Experience and Results of Testing the First AFDA Prototype Liquid Metal Once-Through Steam Generator

Description: To aid in the development of a once-through steam generator to be used in a sodium-cooled nuclear reactor plant, a small-scale prototype model of the contemplated steam generator was fabricated and subjected to various test programs. One year of operation of the unit indicated the once-through steam generator to be entirely satisfactory. it has been subjected to, and successfully withstood, cycling conditions equivalent to a number of years of normal operation. It is interesting to note that, o… more
