AN EVALUATION OF FOUR DESIGN STUDIES OF A 1000 MWe CERAMIC FUELED FAST BREEDER REACTOR

摘要

The project objective, as stated in the study contracts is as follows;The objective is to obtain a conceptual design of a fast breeder sodium cooled reactor suitable for use in a plant of a 1000 MWe (net) capacity, turbine inlet steam temperature of 1000°F, which would have as a goal the production of electric power at minimum electrical cost consistent with a breeding ratio of approximately 1.20 and a reasonable fuel doubling time.
