Concept of a Small Modular SCWR With Horizontal Fuel Assemblies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the concept of the high performance light water reactor (HPLWR), an innovative concept of a small modular reactor is presented, which shall have smaller peak cladding temperatures than the HPLWR due to better ...
Numerical Simulation of a Steam Injector for Passive Residual Heat Removal
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the case of depressurization of a supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR), the steam pressure can be used to pump coolant back into the reactor, either by using a turbine driven pump or a steam injector. The latter ...
Transient Heat Transfer in an Out-of-Pile SCWR Fuel Assembly Test at Near-Critical Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While supercritical water is a perfect coolant with excellent heat transfer, a temporary decrease of the system pressure to subcritical conditions, either during intended transients or by accident, can easily cause a boiling ...
Special Section: Selected Papers From the Ninth International Symposium on Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Ninth International Symposium on Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors (IS-SCWRs) was successfully held on Mar. 11–13, 2019 at the Vancouver Marriott Hotel, Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was hosted by the Canadian Nuclear ...
A Physically Based, One Dimensional Two Fluid Model for Direct Contact Condensation of Steam Jets Submerged in Subcooled Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simulation model for the direct contact condensation of steam in subcooled water is presented that allows determination of major parameters of the process, such as the jet penetration length. Entrainment of water by the ...
Expected Safety Performance of the Supercritical Water Reactor Fuel Qualification Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) fuel qualification test is an inpile test of a fourrod fuel assembly at supercritical pressure inside a research reactor, which is operated at atmospheric pressure. The risk of ...
Numerical Study of Fluid–Structure Interaction With Heat Transfer at Supercritical Pressure in a Fuel Rod Assembly
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Irregular temperature profiles inside nuclear reactors cause the deformation of fuel rods. Due to difficulties in implementing this phenomenon, it is usually neglected in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. ...
Design of an In Pile SCWR Fuel Qualification Test Loop
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the development of the supercritical watercooled reactor (SCWR), an inpile fuel assembly test loop has been designed within the framework of the joint Chinese–European project, called SCWRFQT (Fuel Qualification Test). ...
