ABSTRACT:
The peripheral blanket of a breeder reactor requires a coolant flow rate which is a varying fraction of that of the central core region. A self-orificing blanket cooling structure which is characterized by a predominance of radial coolant flow, generated by the pressure difference across the blanket, is utilized to supply the necessary cooling. The blanket fuel assemblies are surrounded by perforated cans to allow for radial cross-flow through the blanket region.
