Used GEMINI II #128859 for sale

GEMINI-GEMINI II is a fast reactor designed by BWXT for the United States Navy to provide fleet propulsion and electrical power. It is a 600 megawatt thermal (MWth) pressurized light water reactor with enriched uranium fuel. The primary components of GEMINI-II reactor are the core, the primary equipment, and the plant control system. The reactor core is contained in a sealed, stainless steel cylinder. Inside the reactor core is the enriched uranium, a protective neutron absorber, fuel channel assemblies, and core support structures. The core is the area where the nuclear reaction that produces power takes place. The primary unit of the reactor is the machine that transports the water from the reactor core to the turbine, which then converts it into electricity. The plant control tool for GEMINI-GEMINI II is composed of the main control asset, the safety injection model, and other auxiliary control systems. The main control equipment allows for operator control of the reactor parameters such as power level and temperature. The safety injection system is designed to protect the reactor from unsafe exposure to radiation and to cool the reactor core in the event of an emergency. The auxiliary control systems include automatic control circuitry, fire detection, and emergency lighting. Reactor operations at GEMINI-II are performed by an experienced and well-trained staff. On a regular basis, the operators will monitor the reactor parameters, perform diagnostic checks, and control the safety injection unit. The staff also performs periodic maintenance and emergency preparedness training of all personnel. The reactor is installed in a well-insulated, pressure-tight containment shell. This shell is designed to prevent the release of any radioactivity in the event of an accident. The shell is also designed to protect the personnel and environment from any radiation released during normal operation. GEMINI-GEMINI II reactor has a long and successful history of providing power to the U.S. Navy. The reactor has undergone numerous upgrades and modifications since its commissioning in 1984. It is currently in use and is expected to remain in service for many years to come.
