Abstract

Synopsis : Present work provides main technical characters of conceptual project of micro-particle fuel autonomous molten salt reactor for small capacity nuclear energetic. There are two given variants of the reactors with core campaign of 15 and 60 years, respectively. It is shown, that this concept satisfies fully all moderns requirments for autonomous nuclear reactors of small paper capacity.

Index Terms - nuclear power, small capacity autonomous reactor, micro-particle fuel, molten salt coolant, natural circulation, gas turbine.
