Power Distributions for Type 3 Replacement Cores for SM-1, SM-1A and PM-2A (open access)

Power Distributions for Type 3 Replacement Cores for SM-1, SM-1A and PM-2A

Abstract: The most adverse power distribution and power peaking factors have been developed for Type 3 replacement cores for SM-1, SM-1A, and PM-2A. Also included is the 37 element Type 3 core for SM-1, which is known as SM-1 Core III and is a prototype of a Type 3 core for PM-2A. The power distributions were compared with measured distributions obtained on type 3 fuel elements in SM-1, SM-1A and PM-2A core configurations. Using the measured data as a standard, correction factors were obtained and applied to the analytical predictions of the most adverse power distribution.

Conceptual Design for 75 MWe Mixed Spectrum Superheating Reactor Power Plant (open access)

Conceptual Design for 75 MWe Mixed Spectrum Superheating Reactor Power Plant

"This report presents the conceptual design of a 75 MWe prototype Mixed Spectrum Superheater power plant. The scope of the work has emphasized primarily the design, performance, and cost information on the nuclear portion of the plant. The research and development programs required to insure plant feasibility are also present."--Intro.
