| 11. | All the primary components, heat exchangers etc . are positioned inside the reactor vessel.
|
| 12. | In 1977 Bechtel Corporation installed the reactor vessel backwards.
|
| 13. | The cooled primary coolant is then returned to the reactor vessel to be heated again.
|
| 14. | The reactor vessel holds 764 fuel assemblies and 185 control rods which modulate the power.
|
| 15. | A pair of ring mirrors is placed inside the cylindrical reactor vessel at either end.
|
| 16. | NuScale's SMR designs are for by reactor vessels that use conventional light water cooling methods.
|
| 17. | The capsule loading station is located in the storage pool adjacent to the reactor vessel pool.
|
| 18. | The one-fluid design includes a large reactor vessel filled with fluoride salt containing thorium and uranium.
|
| 19. | The consortium wants to deliver its first key component _ the reactor vessel _ in 2005.
|
| 20. | The high contamination level precludes being able to open the reactor vessel for the eventual refueling.
