Used SHOWA SHINKU SEC-10C #9237176 for sale

SHOWA SHINKU SEC-10C is a Fast Breeder Reactor manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. It is a sodium-cooled reactor with a rated gross thermal output of 10 MWth. The reactor features a core comprised of uranium-plutonium mixed oxide fuel and uses solid-coolant instability prevention devices (SCIPDs) to minimize water-cooled flow blockages. The core of the reactor has a diameter of 1.67 meters and contains five different fuel types: UO2, mixed Pu+UO2, MOX pellet with enriched uranium, Mo-alloy coating with UO2, and U+SSF (U-steel laminated fuel). This ensures increased fuel utilization while also increasing the height and diameter of the active portion of the core. The core undergoes both an internal and external neutron shield for improved shielding effectiveness. The reactor's control system utilizes a rod drop protection system and horizontal positional interlock system that are both operated by digital computers. This secures the reactor's fuel rod in the core and ensures that the control rods are dropped at the proper rate, thus controlling reactor reactivity. The reactor also has a Primary Heat Exchanger to enable cooldown and a Secondary Heat Exchanger to produce electricity from steam cycle components. SEC-10C is considered to be a reliable and high-performance reactor, with its many safety features and high efficiency rating. Its SCIPDs alleviate issues associated with water-cooled nuclear fuel and give the reactor greater flexibility and safety. Additionally, its ability to utilize a variety of fuel types increases its efficiency as well as decreases the amount of spent fuel. This makes SHOWA SHINKU SEC-10C a great choice to meet many power generating requirements.
