Description
Summary:This paper demonstrates technical features and conceptual scheme of innovative self-contained low power reactor MASTER for heat supply. Neutron-physical and thermo-hydraulic characteristics of this reactor are analyzed. The possibility of power self-control and minimization of reactivity swing during fuel burnup are considered.
