Özet
Thermal and neutronic behavior of a peaceful nuclear explosion reactor (PACER) producing approximate to1.2 GWe electrical-power from fusion explosions in a cylindrical explosion chamber (radius = 30 m, height = 75 m) are analyzed. For determination of flibe mass (m) required for safe operation temperatures and pressures with enough tritium breeding ratio (TBR) and high M (fusion energy absorption ratio), neutronic calculations are carried out for different coolant zone positions (DR) and coolant zone thicknesses (DRc) Inlet pressure and temperatures (T-in) of flibe are 1 atm, and 823 and 1540 K.
