THERMODYNAMIC STUDY OF THE G-2 AND G-3

J. Chaboseau, P. Laferriere

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A thermodynamic study of the G-2 and G-3 reactors must consider the plutonium generation function of the reactors and the recovery of thermal energy in a power plant with as good a yield as possible. The formulas used for the calculation of heat transfer and charge loss are derived. The conditions for the start-up of the reactors are determined. A study was made of the cooling of the reactors in the case of the flattening of the radial flux curve. (J.S.R.)
