Used ASM EPSILON 3200 #9313614 for sale

ASM EPSILON 3200 is an advanced nuclear reactor for industrial, research, and medical applications. It is a graphite-moderated, light-water cooled reactor, with a power input of 8.2 MWt and a thermal output of 3200kW. The design of the reactor has been optimized for low capital and operational costs, high safety, and highly reliable operation. The reactor core contains 12 fuel elements, which are each made up of three concentric pipes filled with fuel. The nuclear fuel is a mixture of enriched uranium and plutonium oxides. The reactor is equipped with a control rod equipment that allows for precise control of reactivity, with up to 95 percent flux regulation over a limited range of neutron absorber concentrations. The core design also features a power law neutron spectrum in order to extend fuel cycle length. This is achieved by a combination of boron-coated reflectors and a low-void-contraction fuel element design. EPSILON 3200 features a core designed for low- and medium-void-ops operation. This helps to reduce the overall thermal-hydraulic forces inside the core. Its individual components are designed to be highly efficient, with a particular focus on heat transfer. This allows for an increased heat transfer rate, freeing up capacity in the reactor core. In addition, the design of the fuel element geometry provides increased neutron flux uniformity. ASM EPSILON 3200 incorporates an improved control system. This includes the use of a series of closed-loop feedback controllers, which allow for a higher degree of control over the reactor's processes. The unit also includes an automated emergency shutdown machine, designed to instantly shut down the reactor in the event of an unexpected or undesirable increase in reactivity. In conclusion, EPSILON 3200 is an advanced nuclear reactor that can be used for a variety of medical, industrial, and research applications. Its innovative design and control systems provide high levels of safety and improved performance, ensuring reliable and cost-effective operation.
