Small reactors for low-temperature nuclear heat applications
Abstract
In accordance with the Member States' calls for information exchange in the field of nuclear heat application (NHA) two IAEA meetings were organized already in 1976 and 1977. After this promising period, the development of relevant programs in IAEA Member States was slowed down and therefore only after several years interruption a new Technical Committee Meeting with a Workshop was organized in late 1983, to review the status of NHA, after a few new specific plans appeared in some IAEA Member States in the early 1980's for the use of heat from existing or constructed NPPs and for developing nuclear heating plants (NHP). In June 1987 an Advisory Group Meeting was convened in Winnipeg, Canada, to discuss and formulate a state-of-the-art review on Small Reactors for Low Temperature Nuclear Heat Application. Information on this subject gained up to 1987 in the Member States whose experts attended this meeting is embodied in the present Technical Report.
