Used NOVEL TECHNOLOGY AHE-21 #9215456 for sale

NOVEL TECHNOLOGY AHE-21 is a next-generation advanced high energy reactor designed for improved efficiency and safety. Its design features a number of novel technologies such as a unique combination of a heavy-water moderator and a fast neutron spectrum, a three-dimensional core lattice, and an innovative active and passive safety system. The core of AHE-21 reactor consists of a mixture of UO2 and Th-232. The moderator used is heavy water which has the highest thermal neutron absorption cross section of all materials, allowing for a fast neutron spectrum, and consequently a much higher neutron flux and energy production capacity than any other moderated reactor. The three-dimensional core lattice improves cooling, neutron moderation, and allows for more efficient fuel utilization - all of which contribute to high reactor performance with less fuel. The active safety system is designed to actively shut down the reactor in the event of an emergency. This is achieved through the insertion of neutron absorbers into the reactor core, thus allowing the reactor to be shut down in a matter of seconds. NOVEL TECHNOLOGY AHE-21 can be left in a passive state without any operator intervention. The passive safety system plays an important role in the emergency management of the reactor, providing back-up protection against accidents. The reactor's pressure boundary is designed to prevent large compounds from forming, thus reducing the possibility of a criticality accident. A core catcher is also installed in case of a malfunction of the fuel, thus preventing the fuel elements from melting or leaking out of the reactor. In order to ensure high safety levels of AHE-21 reactor, a comprehensive experimental program has been undertaken to thoroughly characterize the thermo-hydraulic, thermal-mechanical and neutronic properties of the reactor. This testing phase has been designed to replicate the full range of operational scenarios, including start-up and shut down conditions, as well as fuel loading and core management, in order to confirm the reactor's safety and performance characteristics. Overall, NOVEL TECHNOLOGY AHE-21 reactor provides an efficient, safe, and innovative next-generation nuclear energy technology that can be used for many applications. By utilizing the novel technologies, this reactor offers improved safety and efficiency, and can play a significant role in transitioning to low carbon sources of energy.
