Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor: A Historical Overview and Future Outlook

Figure 2

Primary system layout for the General Atomics GCFR Demonstration plant. The core cavity is shown empty. The overall system layout is typical for all gas-cooled reactor designs of the era. The large cavity on the right side of the core contains a boiler and a blower. The smaller cavity on the left side houses one of the active DHR systems. Figure reproduced from [4].
