The Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility restarted transient operations in 2018 and has met or exceeded expectations for reactor experiments. TREAT's flexibility power shaping provides the ability to prescribe a variety of operating conditions test specimens, including shaped transients, steady-state irradiations, natural pulses, clipped deliver necessary energy deposition rate. initial following TREAT restart were designed mimic historical confirm capability. Then, studies performed...
In this paper, a new neutron kinetics solver for cylindrical R-Z geometry, CYNOD, is presented the simulation of coupled transient problems pebble bed reactors. The code utilizes Direct Coarse Mesh Finite Difference method, in which set one-dimensional equations each transverse direction solved by means analytic Green’s function method. A method that deals with control rod cusping also presented. heterogeneous fuel kernel model implemented order to accurately take into account Doppler...
The U.S. Department of Energy and Idaho National Laboratory are developing a very high temperature reactor to serve as demonstration state-of-the-art nuclear technology. purpose the is twofold: (a) efficient, low-cost energy generation (b) hydrogen production. Although next-generation plant could be developed single-purpose facility, early designs expected dual purpose, assumed here. A dual-purpose design with combined cycle Brayton top bottom Rankine was investigated. An intermediate heat...
An air-cooled helical coil reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS) unit immersed in the water pool was proposed to overcome disadvantages of weak ability an RCCS and complex structure a water-cooled for high-temperature gas-cooled (HTGR). experimental apparatus constructed investigate various heat transfer phenomena pool-type RCCS, such as natural convection air inside cavity, radiation pool, forced pipe.The results were compared with published correlations. The CFX code validated using data...
A lead-bismuth–cooled fast reactor concept targeted for a balanced mission of actinide burning and low-cost electricity production is proposed its performance analyzed. The design explores the potential benefits thorium-based fuel in actinide-burning cores, particular terms reduction large reactivity swing enhancement small Doppler coefficient typical fertile-free burners. Reduced cost pursued through longer cycle length than that used burners thus higher capacity factor. It shown can...
