Fluidized Bed Reactor Study: Phase I - Feasibility (open access)

Fluidized Bed Reactor Study: Phase I - Feasibility

From abstract: The Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) consists of a bed of fuel pellets which circulate in a confined core region as the result of the upward flow of fluid through the particles. In the present concept the fluid acts as a fluidizing, coolant and reactor moderator medium. This report is the results of the Phase I study to determine the feasibility of this concept.
