Used ASTECH ATL-100RA #293664726 for sale

ASTECH ATL-100RA Reactor is a modern nuclear reactor equipment designed for use in research, training, and industrial applications. ATL-100RA is a relatively small reactor featuring a core with a maximum thermal output of 5.2 MWth (megawatt thermal) and a maximum electrical output of 4 MW (megawatt electrical). ASTECH ATL-100RA utilises a 100-litre pool as the core, which is active fuel loaded with a core configuration of around 16 fuel elements. This fuel is made up of U-transuranic (TRU) and U-high-enriched uranium fuel (HEU). The water in the pool acts as both a coolant and a moderator. ATL-100RA's core is equipped with a range of safety systems to ensure the safety of staff, the public and the environment. These systems include SCRAM (shutdown rods auto-manipulated) which act as protective rods in the case of any emergency situation, as well as a Pressure Relief System (PRS) and Containment Unit (CS). ASTECH ATL-100RA operates with great efficiency, providing a full core reload every two months and a short-term fuel campaign of up to three months. This short-term campaign allows for quick changes in power levels in specific areas of the core, allowing for improved control and faster reaction times. ATL-100RA is equipped with a range of instrumentation systems to allow the operator to manage the reactor with ease. These systems provide both accuracy and safety, allowing the operator to better understand the dynamics of the reactor. The safety of the staff is ensured with the use of personnel protection measures, such as mechanical barriers and shielding. ASTECH ATL-100RA also includes a calibration machine that allows staff to monitor the core to ensure its optimum state. Overall, ATL-100RA is a safe and reliable nuclear reactor, allowing for research, training and industrial applications. Its efficient fuel cycle, operating efficiency, safety systems, and instrumentation technology provides research professionals with a safe and dependable research reactor.
