Description

Composite Vessel-Shield Technology for Transportable Microreactor Systems A laminated sandwich composite designed to consolidate reactor vessel and radiation shielding functions into a single, weight-optimized structural system for mobile nuclear power applications. Overview Practical deployment of transportable micro-reactors asystems depends on solving a fundamental logistics problem: conventional reactor designs treat the pressure vessel and radiation shield as separate systems, each carrying independent structural and weight penalties. For many mobile configurations, the combined mass of these two subsystems exceeds what transport by road, rail, or air can accommodate. This invention proposes a laminated sandwich composite that consolidates both functions into a single integrated struc
