Used TES Challenger HT PLUS #9241229 for sale

TES Challenger HT PLUS is a milestone in nuclear innovation, offering an advanced modular reactor design that is capable of powering up to 15 million homes. It is an evolution on the well-known Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (APWR) concept and relies on proven and enhanced safety features like reinforced containment structures and a closed fuel cycle. The core of the reactor consists of a reinforced carbon steel pressure vessel in which fuel assemblies containing enriched uranium oxide fuel pellets are immersed in heavy water, which acts as both the moderator and the coolant. The core of Challenger HT PLUS is surrounded by strong safety barriers, including robust reactor walls made of reinforced steel, and multiple layers of steel and concrete shielding. These barriers feature numerous active and passive safety components which provide extra protection in the event of a meltdown or other major incident. In particular, the HT Plus features an advanced safety instrumentation and control equipment which provides an early warning of irregularities. The reactor is designed to operate at a thermal power of 3600MWth for 60 years of continuous operation with an output of 3000 MWe. It uses a closed fuel cycle, meaning that fuel assemblies can be recycled over multiple cycles, providing cost savings compared to open cycles. At the heart of TES Challenger HT PLUS design is an innovative and efficient coolant system. The unit uses a combination of natural circulation and forced circulation using one or two main feedwater pumps. The steam is generated in multiple pressure levels by conventional drum-type separator steam generators, and is separated into two sections. The High Pressure (HP) section in the reactor core is connected to two full-length vertical steam-turbine generators, with two sub-coolers providing additional feedwater cooling capacity. Challenger HT PLUS utilizes advanced digital instrumentation and control systems that allow for precise monitoring and control of various systems. This advanced computer machine processes input from numerous sensors and transducers providing operators with real-time information that increases situational awareness and aids in decision making. TES Challenger HT PLUS is designed to meet the highest safety standards for nuclear reactors. It is optimized for grid stability, reduced fuel consumption and minimized waste production. It has also been designed with modularity and flexibility in mind, providing power plants with the ability to act as an integral part of their national power grids.
