SUPERCRITICAL-PRESSURE, LIGHT-WATER-COOLED REACTORS FOR IMPROVING ECONOMY, SAFETY, PLUTONIUM UTILIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The concepts of a direct-cycle supercritical-pressure, light-water-cooled reactors were developed. The conceptual design of the thermal and fast reactors was carried out. The plant system is identical among them. Breeding is possible in the tight lattice core. Waste problems are improved due to the high thermal efficiency. Power generation cost will be greatly reduced from the current LWR.
