Book excerpt: The study considered a wide variety of possible designs for a mobile gas-cooled nuclear power plant to produce 500 kw(e) for military applications. It included consideration, optimization, and selection of coolants (air, nitrogen, helium, argon, or otuers); thermodynamic cycles (direct open-cycle, direct closed-cycle, and dual cycles, both regenerative and non-regenerative); reactor moderaters (beryllium oxide, metal hydrides, water, or no moderator); shielding (during operation and transport following operation); high-temperature materials (for reactor core, reflecter, controls, shielding, structure, heat exchangers, and turbomachinery); and investigation of many other variables. Conceptual designs were completed for several systems. The High Density Moderated Reactor System, designated HDMR, evolved as the optimum gas-cooled nuclear power plant, and is described. This concept utilizes a closed regenerative Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. Hastelloy-X pins are used in the 18-inch diameter core; some contain UO/sub 2/ fuel and some contain yttrium hydride moderator. The hydrogen moderation provides maximum safety within acceptable shield weights. Other systems studied are also described. The HDMR offers significant advantages over existing military power plants, both nuclear and fossil fueled, in terms of logistic support requirements, mobility, reliability, and simplicity. (auth).

This book was released on 1961 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis preceding and supporting the design of the ML-1--a mobile, low-power, nuclear power plant--is described in sufficient detail for an engineer, not a specialist, to follow the development of the design. Test results and similar data are used to support the calculations whenever possible. Useless repetition of detail is avoided: when the development of several items of equipment, performing a similar function under similar conditions, is described the calculations and derivations are given only once.

This book was released on 1961 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplement to the ML-1 Hazards Summary Report, No. IDO-28560, originally published in November 1960, is presented. The material in the Supplement amplifies and revises various sections of the original publication, in order to up-date it and to satisfy the requirements pertinent to power operation of the entire ML-1 plant. The text, with illustrations and graphs, is arranged in five sections and two appendixes: (1) a summary that includes an up-todate tabulation of power plant characteristics; (2) descriptions of significant changes to certain ML-1 componentsfuel element, leak-detection and refueling equipment, stainless steel uses, control blade locking mechanisms, and moderator deoxygenation; (3) operation of the plant with air as the coolant; (4) the Phase II Test Program under which the combined reactor and power-conversion packages will be operated; and (5) examples of detailed operating procedures for the test program. The appendixes contnin: (1) discussions of recommendations made by the U.S. AEC concerning ML-1 operations, and (2) a list of errata in the original report. (auth).

This book was released on 1963 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of the data generated during the full power and limited endurance tests of the ML-1 mobile nuclear power plant indicates that the reactor performs in accordance with the design specifications. During the 101 hr test period, the reactor attained a maximum power of 3.44 Mw(and 247 kw(e) was measured at the output shaft of the turbine-compressor set. No operating limits were exceeded during these tests and all systems performed satisfactorily Except for the known performance deficiency of the turbinecompressor set, which prevented the attainment of design output power, no operational, stability, or control problems were encountered. All test objectives were achieved and the tests were considered completely successful. (auth).
