Used GES CAYMAN #9225527 for sale

GES CAYMAN is a next-generation, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor that has been designed for commercial operation. This type of reactor is known as a Generation IV Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR) and is capable of generating medium amounts of nuclear power. The design of CAYMAN combines a modular Pressure Vessel and Steam Generator (PVSG) module with a Full Width Reactor (FWR) module, providing the reactor with flexibility to produce variable power outputs. It is also capable of operation at peak power outputs of 1000MWth and above. The design of GES CAYMAN AGR is based on the proven technology used in the world's first Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (MAGNOX) operated at Windscale in the UK. This design is inherently safe by taking advantage of the reactor's natural negative reactivity feedback, a key safety feature. This ensures that if the reactor becomes unstable, its own reaction rates will slow down, making the reactor self-stabilizing. CAYMAN also utilizes advanced safety systems such as independent safety systems to provide multiple layers of protection. The reactor is also designed with modern day standards of containment and isolation. The core of the reactor is composed of hexagonal graphite bricks and is designed for easy replacement, allowing for removal and replacement of fuel rods without needing to shut down the reactor. GES CAYMAN operates using a closed-loop cooling system with both natural circulation and assisted circulation to ensure the temperatures of the reactor are kept safely regulated and well within safety limits. This also allows the reactor to produce higher levels of energy. The reactor also is designed to be relatively efficient in comparison to other reactors, requiring less fuel for equivalent power production. Overall, CAYMAN has proven itself to be a dependable and efficient reactor design, with its safety and efficiency features making it an ideal choice for medium-sized nuclear power plants. Its modular design not only provides flexibility to customers, but also allows for efficient operation. Additionally, the inherent safety features of the reactor provide an assurance of safety for personnel and the public.
