Used ASM PXJ-200 #9111721 for sale

ASM PXJ-200 is a compact and efficient radioactive material (RAM) research reactor core. It is suitable for experimentation on a variety of industrial and non-industrial applications, including pollutant destruction and reactor physics research. The reactor core is divided into two cylindrical segments - a core segment and a control rod segment. The core segment contains the uranium fuel, the water moderator, and the control rods. The fuel is highly enriched uranium 235 pellets. The moderator is a light water system which cools, reflects and moderates neutrons as they travel around the core, ensuring increased safety and stability of the reactor. The control rods absorb and remove energy from the core, controlling the reactivity of the reactor. ASM PXJ 200 has a maximum operating temperature of 145°C, a maximum pressure of 1750 psi, and a maximum linear power output of 200 kW. It is designed to operate at slow core speeds (380-420 RPM) to create consistently low reactivity levels, and therefore can operate at lower operating temperatures and pressures than other research reactors. The reactor includes a number of emergency shutdown systems for use in the event of an accident. These include emergency shutdown rods, electrical shut-off systems, hydraulic emergency stop systems, emergency cooling systems, and scram systems. The core is housed in a stainless steel chamber, which is surrounded by lead and polyethylene radiation shielding to minimize operator exposure to harmful radiation levels. The shielding also helps to keep thermal radiation generated by the reactor from escaping into the environment. PXJ-200 reactor is a safe, reliable, and efficient reactor for a variety of applications. As a research reactor, it offers the production of medical isotopes and the environmental destruction of pollutants at higher yields than competing reactors. Due to its control rod design and optimized uranium fuel, PXJ 200 requires fewer resources to operate, making it both cost and energy efficient.
