AGR experience and its relevance to future gas-cooled reactors

Creators

Description

The first two of the 10 CO2-cooled AGRs being built in the U.K. have now been commissioned. Technical problems similar to those which were encountered in their construction could arise in future gas-cooled reactors, and the remedies adopted to deal with noise, flow-induced vibration, insulation and other aspects are described here in some detail. The AGR operating parameters are compared with the parameters of helium-cooled thermal and breeder reactors designed for power and process heat
