Slurry reactors, natural uranium

In case absorber is the IJ238 content of the natural uranium, it can be present both inside the reactor in the reacting solution of uranium salt in D2O, and also can be present in the reflector, which in this case can be a UO2—D2O slurry. During the course of the reaction, the 94239 will be formed both in the reaction tank and in the reflector slurry. When the 9423 is removed periodically from the reaction solution, some U33s content of the uranium will remain, of course, but will be depleted, and at some point, dependent on 94339 production, will not support a chain reaction in DaO. Under these circumstances, fresh natural uranium with full U33s... 

Hie pulsating method of cooling a reactor having a liquid reactive composition can also be applied to a reactor using natural uranium. When a uranium oxide slurry is used as the reactive composition, typical data is as follows ...
