SM-2 6000 AND 12000 EKW NUCLEAR POWER PLANT PRIMARY SYSTEM DESIGN, VOLUME 1

Abstract

Development studies for an SM-2 Nuclear Power Plant primary system are summarized. The studies include the following: horizontal steam generator, safety and alarm system, decontamination methods, waste disposal, preassembly and packaging, vapor container, vertical steam generator and feedwater control system, pressurizer development and design studies, fuel handling, superheater, and instrumentation. The design analysis for the main primary system and the primary auxiliary system is presented with calculations, sketches and descriptions. The results obtained from the development studies and design analysis are included for a 6000 eKW plant design which utilizes a single 28 tMW reactor system, and for the preliminary design of a 12,000 eKW plant design which utilizes two identical 28 tMW reactor systems.
