Engineering design considerations for a liquid-metal in-pile loop

“…The maximum gas temperature was 1400°F, cladding temperature 1700°F, and fuel center line temperature to 2400°F. In continuation of the U. S. gas-cooled reactor program, the Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor is being constructed at Oak Ridge with provision for four gas-cooled loops in the core (17 for lack of customer demand, causing the loop to be redesigned for the MTR.…”

Engineering design considerations for a liquid-metal in-pile loop

“…gas-cooled loops in the core(17). A heat release of Kw can be accommodated in the loops with helium or COg coolant velo cities to 115 fps.…”
