Status of the SNAP-50 reactor fuels parametric studies. Part I [electronic resource]
Declassified 6 Sep 1973. Results of the parametric study are given for both present and advanced capability (2 and 8 MW). Fuels which result in minimum reactor weights are UC/UN (95% dense), UC/UN--1W for the 2 MW design, UC/ UN-1W for 8 MW. Effects of fuel clad and fuel maximum temperature on the r...

Summary: | Declassified 6 Sep 1973. Results of the parametric study are given for both present and advanced capability (2 and 8 MW). Fuels which result in minimum reactor weights are UC/UN (95% dense), UC/UN--1W for the 2 MW design, UC/ UN-1W for 8 MW. Effects of fuel clad and fuel maximum temperature on the reactor weight were also studied. Recommendations are made for the 2-MW SNAP-50/ SPUR fuel element development and reactor design program, and for additional parametric studies.
