Preliminary Report: 300 KWe Capsule Nuclear Power Plant Study (open access)

Preliminary Report: 300 KWe Capsule Nuclear Power Plant Study

This report describes progress made in the study of the feasibility of the concept, plant arrangement studies, and considerations pertaining to partial plant attendance. It is concluded that both the indirect and direct boiling cycles are feasible. The recommended reference design is the direct cycle, in a single capsule, with the turbine, generator and pumps on a single shaft.
