ABSTRACT:
A nuclear power plant that is of a walk-away type with an encapsulated reaction core in a glass matrix pool having a reactive Thorium/U.sup.233 composition in a containment structure that radiates thermal energy for use in a closed gas cycle with a split path having a common compressor with an output that divides into a first path communicating with the thermal source and a second path communicating with an intercooler, the two paths combining in a turbine with an expander that discharges to a common collector for return to the compressor.
