Space power reactor ground test in the experimental gas cooled reactor (EGCR) at Oak Ridge
Copyright policy )Space power reactor ground test in the experimental gas cooled reactor (EGCR) at Oak Ridge
The Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor (EGCR) facility and the supporting technical infrastructure at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have the capabilities of performing ground tests of space nuclear power reactor systems. A candidate test would be a 10 MWt lithium cooled reactor, generating potassium vapor that would drive a power turbine. The facility is a large containment vessel originally intended to test the EGCR. Large, contained, and shielded spaces are available for testing, assembly, disassembly, and post‐test examination.
