The integrated natural circulation district heating reactors

The variant comparision work of district heating reactors which have been done by Qinghua University was simply introduced. The type of integrated reactor with natural circulation and slightly boiling in the core was adopted for the district heating plant. The application perspective of nuclear district heating in China was described. The advantages of 'using nuclear fuel to take place of coal' were discussed. The technical safety characters of the integrated natural circulation district heating reactors were as follows: simple constructions and systems, higher inherent safety, and higher reliability. So it is a clean and cheep ideal heat source for district heating
