This paper describes the work done by a small group of engineers, and physicists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory on the conceptual design of a reactor capable of supplying heat and electricity for a remote location. The net electric power and steam heat output were selected to be 1000 kw and approximately 3500 kw, respectively.nThe particular reactor chosen is a heterogeneous, water-cooled and water-moderated, stainless steel system which was selected primarily because of the advanced stage of engineering knowledge in this area and because of the small amount of development which would be required.
