Energy reactor

One was a water-moderated and water-cooled pressurized reactor the other was a Hquid-metal-cooled iatermediate neutron energy reactor. A land-based prototype submafine power plant called Mark I was built and tested at the National Reactor Testing Station. Argonne National Laboratory provided scientific data and Bettis Laboratory of Westinghouse Electric Corp. suppHed engineering expertise. 

In addition to the use of dinitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer in rocket propellant systems, and as a potential nitrating agent is is also used as a cooling liquid in nuclear energy reactors under the name of Nitrin [61). 

Nuclear Energy Reactors An uncontrolled fission chain reaction can be adapted to make an atomic bomb, but controlled fission can produce electric power more cleanly than can the combustion of coal. Like a coal-fired power plant, a nuclear power plant generates heat to produce steam, which turns a turbine attached to an electric generator.

Not all of the 300 naturally occurring isotopes are stable. Unstable nuclei (protons and neutrons) spontaneously transform (decay) to achieve stability and are the radioactive materials syn. radionuclides or radioisotopes. Many other radioactive isotopes are made artificially by bombarding atoms with neutrons or charged particles in processes that occur in nuclear energy reactors and particle accelerators. As nuclei decay, they emit one of four types of radiation characteristic of the atom ...

The Zero-Energy Reactor, Dimple, which was used at Harwell until late 1960, has been extensively modified and rebuilt at Winfirth. Dimple can now be used to study the physics of reactor systems moderated by light or heavy water or by an organic moderator. Containment and monitoring equipment have been provided to permit the use of plutonium-bearing fuels. A wide variety of coarse structures can be built into Dimple ranging from large pressure tube systems to small close packed systems moderated with H2O or H2O/D2O mixtures, which are of interest in the field of marine propulsion. The reactor may be heated uniformly to about 90°C.

Miliimum Gibbs FVee Energy Reactor This is another common form of the equilibrium reactor. In the Gibbs reactor, the oudet stream conposition is calculated by a free energy minimization technique. Usually data are available from the simulator s databank to do these calculations. The only input data required are the list of conponents that one anticipates in the output from the reactor. In this mode the equilibrium conversion that would occur for an infinite residence time is calculated. Batch Reactor This reactor type is similar to the kinetic reactor (and requires the same kinetics input), except that it is batch. The volume of the reactor is specified. The feeds, oudets flows, and reactor tenperature (or heat duty) are scheduled (i.e., they are specified as time series).
