Used GES CAYMAN #9352255 for sale

GES CAYMAN is a nuclear reactor designed by General Electric for use in research facilities and nuclear power plants around the world. CAYMAN is a pool-type reactor, meaning it contains its nuclear fuel in a pool of water, which also acts as a 'moderator' to slow down the neutrons released from the nuclear material, increasing the likelihood of further nuclear reactions to take place. Operating in this way, GES CAYMAN is able to outperform other reactor types when it comes to producing neutron flux (the rate at which neutrons are released). This high neutron flux is perfect for applications such as nuclear transmutation research, and it is due to this that CAYMAN is so popular in nuclear research institutions. The highest power ratings for GES CAYMAN reactor are achieved through the combination of a high neutron flux and a high fuel reload rate. CAYMAN is able to adjust fuel reload rate by varying its thermal power rating, making it well-suited for operations in a range of different thermal power and neutron flux levels. This capability also allows plants to optimize efficiency and significantly reduce operational costs. Additionally, GES CAYMAN utilizes a special low-enrichment fuel to reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation. Unlike other reactor designs, CAYMAN does not rely on a traditional steam cycle for power generation - instead, it uses a closed-cycle thermal compression cycle. This closed-cycle system allows for greater control over the reactor's output, since thermal compression is much more efficient than a steam turbine. Additionally, the closed-cycle also permits a greater range of operating power levels, meaning that it can produce the same power output at different fuel loadings. Safety is a priority for any nuclear reactor, and GES CAYMAN was designed with several safety features that ensure personnel and environmental protection in the event of an emergency. These include automatic shutdown systems, which activate in the case of an abnormally high reactor temperature. Additionally, emergency shutdown rods are in place to control the reactor in the event of a malfunction. Containment systems are also installed to contain and reduce the spread of radioactive materials in the case of an emergency. In conclusion, CAYMAN is a versatile and powerful reactor, capable of producinghigh power output with a minimal risk to personnel and the environment. It offers a closed-cycle thermal compression system for efficient power generation, and offershigh neutron flux and low-enriched fuel for transmutation research. It also features several safety systems to ensure safe operation. All of these features make GES CAYMAN an invaluable asset to the nuclear industry.
