accident• Each of the six radiator panels in SAIRS has 6 doublevapour-cavity potassium heat pipes for removing the rejected heat from one of six AMTEC blocks. Each block consists of either three or four Na-AMTEC units that are heated by 10 reactor Na-heat pipes. The AMTEC unit measures 410 x 594 x 115 mm in outside dimensions and weights 44.3 kg. These units are connected in series in three or four parallel strings for redundancy, while providing a terminal voltage of 400 V DC. At an AMTEC cold side temperature of 700 K and reactor exit temperatures of 1202 K, 1176 K and 1133 K, the nominal efficiencies of the three SAIRS options are 27.3%, 26.9% and 22.7% respectively, resulting in low system masses. The Na-AMTEC units in SAIRS operate at 64-86% of their peak electrical powers, providing for up to 14-36% passive load-following increase in demand without actively increasing the reactor power. The three SAIRS options are identical, except in the efficiency and the number (18 or 24) and electrical connections of Na-AMTEC units, and have alphas of less than or equal to 30.5 kg/kWe and total heights and major diameters of less than or equal to 6 m and 4 m, respectively.
