RISESFR-SMART Core Safety Measures and Their Preliminary Assessment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A large 3600 MW-thermal European sodium fast reactor (ESFR) concept has been studied in a European Horizon-2020 project since September 2017, following an earlier European project. In the paper, we describe new ESFR core ...
Decay 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 ...
Statistical Burnup Distribution of Moving Pebbles in the High-Temperature Reactor HTR-PM
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the pebble-bed high-temperature reactor under construction in China, called the HTR-PM, the spherical fuel elements continuously flow downward in the cylindrical core. The burnup of each pebble is checked at the core ...
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 ...
