An energy amplifier fluidized bed nuclear reactor concept
-
F. Sefidvash
Abstract
The concept of a fluidized bed nuclear reactor driven by an energy amplifier system is described. The reactor has promising characteristics of inherent safety and passive cooling. The reactor can easily operate with any desired spectrum in order to be a plutonium burner or have it operate with thorium fuel cycle.
Abstract
Das Konzept eines Schwebebett-Kernreaktors angetrieben mit einem Energie-vertärkenden System wird beschrieben. Dieser Reaktor besitzt vielversprechende Eigenschaften hinsichtlich inhärenten Sicherheit und passiver Kühlung. Der Reaktor kann mit jedem gewünschten Spektrum betrieben werden, mit Plutonium als Brennstoff oder mit Thorium.
