Building a better Nuke Plant

(1/6) > >>

Tech-A:
I was reading about the "NEW" Nuke plants that are being designed and what would the Nukeworkers want in a design. Like for example, When it comes to refueling a PWR a lot of radiation and contamination is involved comes from the inspection of the S/G tubes. But, if the Primary and secondary water was reversed so the the reactor coolant was on the outside of the tubes, then there would be less contamination and radiation.

SloGlo:
oh i hate it when i don't understand new technologies......

Rain Man:
Primary coolant on the secondary side of a generator??  It has been unintentionally tried by many utilities.  Sloglo..This is a new "technology" you don't want to know about.

RDTroja:
I'm with you, SloGlo -- I just don't understand how that would be a good thing.

raddad:
Let us not forget the purpose of the S/G -- to make steam.  It won't work unless the hot water is in the tubes and the feedwater outside.
