Pebble Bed Reactor Plant screening evaluation. Volume 1. Overall plant and reactor system
Description
This report consists of three volumes which describe the design concepts and screening evaluation for a 3000 MW/sub t/ Pebble Bed Reactor Multiplex Plant (PBR-MX). The Multiplex plant produces both electricity and transportable chemical energy via the thermochemical pipeline (TCP). The evaluation was limited to a direct cycle plant which has the steam generators and steam reformers in the primary circuit. Volume 1 reports the overall plant and reactor system. Core scoping studies were performed which evaluated the effects of annular and cyclindrical core configurations, radial blanket zones, burnup, and ball heavy metal loadings. The reactor system, including the PCRV, was investigated for both the annular and cylindrical core configurations
