Description
An ECCS-free passive water-cooled tube reactor concept (ISSTER) is being studied to assess the feasibility and to determine basic conceptual design features. It is a loop-type heavy-water moderated (and heavy- or light-water cooled) reactor with matrix-type fuel and passive moderator cooling system. Among several options for fuel channel design, special attention is being given to two types: the fuel channel with metallic fuel matrix, and that with zircaloy matrix. Preliminary analysis shows that the fuel channel temperature can be maintained within the permissible range, both for normal operation, and if the coolant is lost. 14 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab
