Cleaning and Care, Ordering Parts | Westinghouse W-144 specification

CLEANING AND CARE

To clean, wipe fixture with soft cloth. Clean glass with mild soap. Spray from chemical cleaners can discolor the finish of fixture. Extend-A-Finish Laquer Conditioner, Item#70295, is recommended once a year to clean, condition, and protect fixture. Do not use scouring pads, powders, steel wool or abrasive paper to clean this fixture.

NOTE FORFIXTURESTHATARE SOLIDBRASS:

Your hand-crafted, solid brass lighting fixture has been coated with a durable, baked-on acrylic lacquer which gives maximum protection against the weather. However, in time the brightness of the brass will tarnish, giving way to an authentic old-world brass finish. To keep your solid brass fixture looking new for years to come, regularly apply a good quality, non-abrasive car wax to all metal surfaces, giving the fixture an extra protective covering.

W-144 specifications

The Westinghouse W-144 is a notable achievement in the realm of nuclear reactor technology, specifically designed as a pressurized water reactor (PWR) to deliver reliable and efficient energy. As a part of the Westinghouse family, this reactor type has played a significant role in the growth and evolution of nuclear power generation since its introduction.

One of the primary features of the Westinghouse W-144 is its ability to produce a substantial output of electricity while ensuring safety and efficiency. With a net electrical generating capacity of approximately 144 megawatts, the reactor operates at high thermal efficiency, significantly contributing to energy production while minimizing environmental impacts.

The W-144 utilizes advanced safety features integral to its design. The reactor pressure vessel is constructed from high-strength steel, providing robust containment of the nuclear processes within. The dual containment structures, along with auxiliary safety systems such as emergency core cooling systems, are designed to mitigate the risks of overheating and potential core meltdowns.

Another remarkable characteristic of the W-144 is its innovative fuel technology. It utilizes low-enriched uranium fuel, which enhances the reactor's sustainability and reduces the amount of radioactive waste produced. The design also allows for extended fuel cycles, enabling longer operational periods before refueling is required. This factor not only reduces operational costs but also minimizes the logistical complexities associated with frequent fuel replacement.

In terms of control systems, the Westinghouse W-144 incorporates advanced digital instrumentation and control technology. This enhances monitoring capabilities and allows for precise adjustments to operational parameters, ensuring optimal performance. The control room is equipped with user-friendly interfaces, allowing operators to maintain oversight of the reactor more easily and respond to any contingencies promptly.

Moreover, the W-144 is designed with modularity in mind, allowing for easier integration into existing energy infrastructures. Its compatibility with renewable energy sources makes it an ideal candidate for hybrid energy systems, contributing to a cleaner energy future.

In summary, the Westinghouse W-144 stands as a testament to the advancements in nuclear technology. With its robust safety features, innovative fuel technology, and advanced control systems, it presents a reliable and efficient solution for meeting global energy demands while striving for environmental sustainability. This reactor continues to be a vital component in discussions surrounding the future of energy production.
