SYSTEM OF GENERATING ELECTRICITY USING A SWIMMING POOL TYPE NUCLEAR REACTOR

摘要

TITLE SYSTEM OF GENERATING ELECTRICITY USING A SWIMMING POOL TYPE NUCLEAR REACTOR INVENTOR John Stewart Glen Henry Walton Hinds A system of generating electricity is disclosed. The system employs a new kind or swimming pool type nuclear reactor which is safe and can be made operable unattended but at the same time raises the mean pool temperature by forcing moderator-coolant-shield circulation. When the reactor is combined with an organic Rankine cycle engine, a significant improvement in efficiency of electricity generation can be obtained, making very small nuclear/electricity units economically viable.
