Summary
The report on the 2 kW(e) reactor-organic Rankine system was drafted. This report details the design parameters of a minimum weight, 2 kW(e) reactor-organic Rankine system. The system is designed for 5 years unattended life in space. The reactor produces 16.2 kW of thermal power with a NaK outlet temperature of 800/sup 0/F and a 200/sup 0/F ..delta..T. The reactor contains 19 fuel elements, 1.25'' in diameter by 10'' long, hydrided to an N/sub H/ of 6.35. The terrestrial applications effort was oriented towards the establishment of the feasibility of utilizing the zirconium hydride reactor technology in a subsea application for supplying electrical power to deep water, and other environmentally severe, oil well installations. The overall system concept is shown. The power system is composed of three basic modules (i.e., a reactor module, a generator module, and a heat rejection system) mounted on a barge. The barge is then towed to the installation site and submerged to mate with a previously installed seafloor foundation. An assembly/disassembly sequence was drafted detailing the steps required to assemble the reactor module and to disassemble it after 4 years of operations.
