Designs for large organic reactor rower plants

One of the types of nuclear reactors now under consideration for use in large central station plants makes use of an organic fluid as moderator and coolant. The organic fluid technology as applied to a nuclear reactor has been under development for several years. In addition, the Organic Moderated Reactor Experiment (OMRE) has been constructed and operated at the Nuclear Reactor Testing Station in Idaho. A number of preliminary designs have been prepared for organic reactor plants for the production of electric power as well as for the propulsion of merchant ships and the production of process steam for industry.
