Used THOMAS SWAN 19x2 GAN #9163497 for sale

THOMAS SWAN 19x2 GAN is a type of nuclear reactor developed by THOMAS SWAN in 19x2. This reactor is designed for both research and power generation use and consists of four distinct components designed to increase efficiency and safety. The primary component of 19x2 GAN is the core, which contains the fuel and moderator that produces the necessary thermal reactions for power generation. This reactor uses uranium-235 as its fuel and graphite moderator to moderate and control the fission reaction. The core is cooled by a liquid metal coolant, such as sodium or potassium, typically used in thermal reactors. The second component of the reactor is the control rods. These are inserted into the core to adjust the rate of the fission reaction and adjust the temperature. This is accomplished by inserting rods made from Boron or Gadolinium into the core. The control rods are connected to a central console, which is used by the operators to control the reactivity of the core. The third component of the reactor is the containment vessel. This vessel is designed to contain the radioactive materials and direct the flow of coolant to the core and control rods. It also functions as a safety feature, ensuring that any potential radiation leaking from the core is contained and not released into the environment. The fourth component of the reactor is the shielding. This is a layer of concrete, usually one to two meters thick, surrounding the reactor and protecting it from radiation. It also serves to prevent operators from being exposed to radioactive materials during operation. Operators and technicians must wear protective garments and stand behind a radiation shield when operating the reactor. THOMAS SWAN 19x2 is a versatile and reliable safety-designed reactor that can be used for both research and power generation. Its core design ensures that no dangerous levels of radiation are released into the environment and its containment vessel, control rods and shielding ensure safe operation and the protection of operators.
