Used GEMINI Gemini II #9271472 for sale

GEMINI Gemini II is a reactor designed for research applications and can be used for a wide range of experiments. It is an atomic energy source that creates thermal energy by nuclear fission reactions. It is a multi-use modular design reactor that is capable of supporting high power for high power experiments. The reactor utilizes a heavy water-cooled graphite-moderated core that is surrounded by a reflector, which is designed to enhance neutron economy. The core is charged with a mixture of uranium-235 and plutonium-derived fuels and is operated using either beryllium or super-fast neutron moderated neutron reflector elements. Gemini II has a power range from 1 to 36 megawatts and is renowned for its reliability and long operational life. It features an automatic safety equipment which is activated in the event of any excess neutron generation, or if the control rods are withdrawn too rapidly. The system is designed to safe guard the reactor against meltdown or runaway reactions. For experimentation purposes, the reactor has 5 neutron beam ports, experimental tanks, remote handling systems, Pneumatic Tube Percussive Tools (PPT) unit for remote fuel management, and a high-energy physics laboratory. A range of in-core experimental equipment is also available. The reactor is designed with an in-core graphite shield to limit radiation exposure. This shield is manned with specialist personnel and also incorporates a monitoring machine that records radiation levels. For safety reasons, the reactor is built in two sections. The core section is divided into two zones. The inner zone is occupied by the fuel assemblies and the outer zone houses the auxiliaries and control instruments. The secondary or reflector section houses equipment, instrumentation and access platforms. Overall, GEMINI Gemini II is an extremely reliable and versatile reactor that serves a wide range of research applications. Its modular design and safety features make it particularly attractive for scientific experiments and nuclear power technology research.
