CEA Project Termed
Unique Nuclear
Fewer System by AEC
What AEC cans “a unique nu
| c-’ear power system” is being
[ planned for the Anchorage area,
according to a news item appear
I ing in the September 10 issue of
i ‘‘Chemical and Engineering
! News”. Designers of the reactor
predict that full development of
! this type of reactor will result
i in a power plant capable of pro
ducing electricity at a cost of
seven mills per kilowatt hour in
plants as small as 10,000 kw. The
reactor and is a slightly enriched
reacotr and is a slightly enriched
uranium reactor, using sodium
as a coolant, water as a modera
| tor, according to the article.
A joint proposal for this re
actor was made by Chugiak Elec
tric Association and Nuclear
Development, White Plains,.
N. Y., under the Power Demon
stration Reactor Program. The
proposal calls for a power re
actor using heavy water as a
moderator, liquid sodium as cool
ant, and slightly enriched urani
um as fuel. AEC has approved
negotiation of a contract for lim
ited initial design and develop
ment work on it.
AEC also authorizes negotia
tion of contract provisions to
proceed with the second phase
of the proposal calling for final
development and engineering de
i sign, and the final phase, con
struction and operation of the
plant, provided results of com
pleted phases justify continua
tion of the project.
ff it is decided to complete
the project, the article states,
total assistance requested of
1 AEC would be a maximum of
$18,325,000 for development, de
sign, and construction of the
reactor and for postconstruction
research and development work.
Of this amount, $5.5 million is
for the reactor itself to which
AEC would retain title.

vide the reactor site, the turbine
generator facilities, and build
ings to house the plant and asso
ciated facilities. It would assume
capital costs totaling $1,830,000.
In physical form, the artic’e
states, the Chugach reactor will
consist of a tank of heavy water
from six to eight feet in diame
ter, tightly sealed except for a
closed-cycle heat exchanger
which extends into the tank to
carry heat away from the mod
erator.
Immersed in the tank, in a lat
tice arrangement, it was explain
ed, will be an array of stainless
steel pipes more than six feet
long. Each pipe will contain a
cluster of stainless steel-clad ur
anium rods, three quarters of an
inch in diameter and about six
feet long. The pipes will open at
each end into a tank of liquid
sodium which flows around the
fuel elements, picks up the heat
generated in the fission process,
and then transfers it to a heat
exchanger to generate steam at
temperatures and pressures ac
ceptable to conventional modern
turbine generator.
Surrounding the heavy wffter
tank is a reflector of graphite to
| minimize the escape of neutrons
j from the system. A 10-inch iron
| shield surrounds the reflector to
| trap any neutrons that may pass
through the reflector. High-den
j sity concrete to protect operat
| ing personnel from gamma rays
i forms the outer covering.
Nuclear power in Alaska, the
| article states, is expected to com
; pete favorably in price with the
| best available hudroelectrie
sites, which produce power in the
10 to 12 mill bracket.

able evening reminiscing about ;
