Used GES CAYMAN #9237254 for sale

GES CAYMAN is a high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor that is built from graphite-moderated fuel bricks. This reactor operates at a high thermal power density, and as a result, it can generate more energy for a given size than other more traditional reactor designs. The reactor core of a CAYMAN has graphite blocks that contain blocks of uranium fuel. These fuel blocks have cylindrical voids in them that are filled with carbon dioxide gas or helium, which is then heated until it reaches a high temperature. The uranium fuel particles inside the blocks act as moderators, slowing down neutrons to the right speed for efficient heat production. The surrounding graphite blocks are in place to maintain a stable pressure and temperature throughout the core, while also providing additional neutron moderation. The heat generated by the uranium fuel is exchanged between the graphite blocks and the surrounding coolant gas, creating an efficient and safe way to extract heat from the reactor. The coolant gas in this reactor is usually carbon dioxide, but it may also be helium, depending on the desired reactor temperature and the size of the reactor core. This gas is cooled by a cooling system that is typically located outside the containment vessel, allowing it to maintain the reactor core at a steady temperature. GES CAYMAN reactor can operate at higher temperatures than other reactor designs, leading to more efficient power generation. It can also operate at higher power densities than liquid metal cooled reactors, meaning that it can generate more electricity with a smaller core size. It has been used to generate electricity in some countries around the world, notably Japan, South Korea and Russia. CAYMAN reactor is a safe and efficient reactor design that has been in use since the 1970s. It has some unique advantages compared to other reactor designs due to its high thermal power density, allowing it to generate more electricity for a given size. Its graphite-moderated fuel blocks allow for safer operation and more efficient power generation, making it an attractive choice for many applications.
