NUCLEAR REACTOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: reactors for very small nuclear power plants. SUBSTANCE: reactor has pressurized shell, radioactive elements, electrolysis chambers with power unit, water circulation system with circulating pump, detonating-mixture accumulator, system for mixing up air with detonating- mixture and delivering mixture obtained to internal-combustion gas turbine of turbogenerator. Radioactive elements are, essentially, perforated-wall channels filled with composite uranium oxide granules produced from spent radioactive rods of nuclear reactors; channels have check valves with pipe connections for passing detonating mixture to accumulator. EFFECT: simplified design of reactor and its control circuit. 1 cl, 3 dwg
