Gas Cooled Fast Breeder Reactor Conceptual Design for a Circulator Test Facility (Modified EOCR Facility at the INEL)

摘要

A GCFR helium circulator test facility sized for full design conditions is proposed. The circulator will be mounted in a large vessel containing high pressure helium, permitting testing at the same power, speed, pressure, temperature and flow conditions intended in the demonstration plant. The electric drive motor for the circulator will obtain its power from an electric supply and distribution system in which electric power will be taken from a local utility. A realistic estimate of total project cost is presented, together with a schedule for design, procurement, construction, and inspection. The total estimated cost of this facility escalated to the period of spending, including Title I, II, and III engineering, site work, building modification, special facilities, utilities, standard equipment, and contingency is $21,563,000. Expense-funded operating and capital equipment costs are also presented. (ERA citation 05:036654)
