摘要：
This invention provides a nuclear reactor design that can enable automated or semi-automated manufacturing of a small reactor in a mechanized factory. This is possible by following a layered approach to combine simple "plate" geometries with the use of diffusion bonding and computer aided manufacturing techniques that integrate all the fuel, axial reflectors, axial gamma and neutron shields, fuel gas plenum, heat removal mechanism, primary heat exchangers and moderator all in one block or component. The final assembled block has no welds and limits or eliminates manual operations. This design has the potential to reduce the fabrication time of an entire nuclear reactor to just a few days.
