Used GEMINI Gemini II #9271465 for sale

GEMINI Gemini II is a nuclear reactor technology developed and manufactured by Canadian technology company CANDU Energy. It is designed as a source of power for industrial applications and can supply electricity in a reliable, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manner. Gemini II features a self-contained, modular design, making it suitable for a variety of uses and contexts. The reactor is fueled by natural uranium which has been enriched to low levels of fissionable U-235 and U-238 isotopes, and is producing heat in a highly reliable closed-cycle operation. This design makes the reactor inherently safe, as it limits the possibility of the formation of a critical mass. The reactor operates by utilizing low-pressure steam to drive a turbo-generator which then produces a steady output of electricity. The core of GEMINI Gemini II reactor consists of a calandria tube containing fuel channels. The calandria tubes are constructed with high-grade graphite and are based on the CANDU design which has been used in similar power reactors for decades. Fuel bundles are inserted into the graphite calandria tubes, where they are cooled by a thermal neutron moderator made of light water. The water is held in a pressurized vessel and is circulated through the fuel bundles. The control of Gemini II reactor is achieved through a number of actively and passively operated safety systems. The actively operated safety systems include a pressurizer, shutoff rods, and a control rod drive. These systems can be used to regulate the amount of neutron flux in the core, the fuel bundle temperatures, and the level and flow of coolant in the reactor vessel. The passively operated safety systems include excess reactivity, pressure surge relief, and localized buildup of coolant. GEMINI Gemini II reactor is capable of producing a high output of electricity with a relatively low cost. The reactor is also highly efficient at turning natural uranium into energy, and is considered as one of the most efficient nuclear reactor designs in the world. Additionally, Gemini II is constructed with minimal adjacent land requirements, making it suitable for use in smaller and more confined spaces. Overall, GEMINI Gemini II is a versatile and well-designed nuclear reactor. While designed primarily for industrial applications, its inherent safety features make it suitable for a variety of contexts, making it a reliable source of power with a low risk factor.
