Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description is given of the design of a prototype "packaged" nuclear power plant. The purpose of the plant is to alleviate fuel oil logistics and storage problems posed by remote auxiliary DEW Line radar stations north of the Arctic Circle. The ALPR (redesignated SL-1) is a 3 Mwt, heterogeneous, highly enriched uranium- fueled, natural-circulation boiling water reactor, cooled and moderated with light water. Steam at 300 psig, dry and saturated (421 deg F) is passed directly from the reactor to a conventional turbine-generator to produce electric power (300 kw nominal) and space-heating (400 kw) requirements consistent with rigid mechanical and structural specifications prescribed by the military, and dictated by the extreme geophysics prevailing at the ultimate site. The over-all design criteria emphasize: simplicity and reliability of operation and maintenance, with minimum supervision; minimum on-site construction; maximum use of standard components; limited water supply; utilization of local gravel for biological shielding; transportability by air lift; and nominal 3-year fuel operating lifetime per core loading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results are summarized for zero-power measurements carried out on the ALPR to study the characteristics of fuel assembly arrays, burnable poison strips, and control rods. The criteria were stable reactor operation at the design power of 3 Mwt, enough explicit and inherent reactivity for reactor operation for as long as 3 years, and enough control capacity for shutdown at any time during the core cycle. Two reference cores were used in the measurements: a final reference 40-fuel-assembly core for 3 Mwt operation and a reference 59-fuel-assembly loading for possible use at higher power levels in another plant. Aspects of design of the core and control system are discussed.
