ABSTRACT:
This Midterm Technical Report documents progress during the first year of the Alternate Central Receiver Power System Program Phase II (DOE Contract No. DE-AC03-79SF10535). The Phase II program is an extension of the "Conceptual Design of Advanced Central Receiver Power System-Phase I (DOE

Contract No. DE-AC03-78ET20500)" completed in February 1979.

The objective of the Phase II program is "the near term application of sodium central receiver power plants for low cost electric power generation." This Midterm Technical Report documents technical accomplishments on the three principal program activities:

- Refinement of the Phase I conceptual design of a 100 MWe sodium cooled central receiver power plant to incorporate improvements in performance and cost. The results are described in Volume I of this report.
- Design, fabrication, installation, and testing of a 2.5 MW thermal Sodium Receiver Test Assembly (SRTA). Volume II describes progress during the first year of the program.
- Materials experiments including development of a brazing fabrication procedure for joining the thin-walled tubes of sodium central receivers. Materials efforts are documented in Volume III.
