RISDecay Heat Characterization for the European Sodium Fast Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, a detailed assessment of the decay heat power for the commercial-size European sodium-cooled fast reactor (ESFR) at the end of its equilibrium cycle has been performed. The summation method has been used to ...
Neutronic Analyses of the FREYA Experiments in Support of the ALFRED Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor Core Design and Licensing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During the EURATOM FP7 project FREYA, a number of experiments were performed in a critical core assembled in the VENUS-F zero-power reactor able to reproduce the ALFRED lead-cooled fast reactor spectrum in a dedicated ...
Superphénix Benchmark Part I: Results of Static Neutronics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the paper, the specification of a new neutronics benchmark for large sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) core and results of modeling by different participants are presented. The neutronics benchmark describes the core of ...
Impact of Thermal-Hydraulic Feedback and Differential Thermal Expansion on European Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Core Power Distribution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to quantify the coupling effect on the power distribution of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs), specifically the European SFR. Calculations are performed with several state-of-the-art reactor ...
