Full-scale thermalhydraulic tests of the AMPS reactor system
Description
Thermalhydraulic tests of an electrically-heated full-scale prototype of the reactor heat source for a 1.5 MWt version of the Autonomous Marine Power Source (AMPS) have been completed. This particular AMPS unit is being developed for eventual use in a 100 kWe power plant for small submarine vehicles. The full-scale tests were to obtain data for code validation and design feedback and to verify key features of the thermalhydraulic design, many of which are unique to AMPS and applicable to other versions at higher output.
