RISThe Impact of Fueling Operations on Full Core Uncertainty Analysis in CANDU Reactors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Within emerging best-estimate-plus-uncertainty (BEPU) approaches, code output uncertainties can be inferred from the propagation of fundamental or microscopic uncertainties. This paper examines the propagation of fundamental ...
Optimization of the Canadian SCWR Core Using Coupled Three-Dimensional Reactor Physics and Thermal-Hydraulics Calculations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Canadian supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) design is part of Canada's Generation IV reactor development program. The reactor uses batch fueling, light water above the thermodynamic critical point as a coolant ...
A Blind, Numerical Benchmark Study on Supercritical Water Heat Transfer Experiments in a 7 Rod Bundle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat transfer in supercritical water reactors (SCWRs) shows a complex behavior, especially when the temperatures of the water are near the pseudocritical value. For example, a significant deterioration of heat transfer may ...
