Physics Assessment of the Impact of Modified End Pellets on Axial Power Peaking for Advanced/Nonconventional Uranium-Based Fuels in Pressure Tube Heavy Water Reactors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Axial power peaking is a phenomenon with safety implications for pressure tube heavy water reactors (PT-HWRs). Since PT-HWRs use shorter (∼50 cm) bundles, there are small axial gaps, which expose the ends of the fuel ...
Assessment of Reactor Physics Characteristics of Prismatic Fuel Concepts With a Hydrogen-Based Moderator for Use in a Fluoride Salt-Cooled Small Modular Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fluoride-salt-cooled high temperature reactor (FHR) effectively combines the solid fuel and moderator design of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) technology with the fluoride salt coolant (LiF-BeF2, FLiBe) of ...
The Low-Level Jet over the Southern Great Plains Determined from Observations and Reanalyses and Its Impact on Moisture Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study utilizes six commonly used reanalysis products, including the NCEP?Department of Energy Reanalysis 2 (NCEP2), NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), ECMWF interim reanalysis (ERA-Interim), Japanese 25-year ...
Assessing Impacts of PBL and Surface Layer Schemes in Simulating the Surface–Atmosphere Interactions and Precipitation over the Tropical Ocean Using Observations from AMIE/DYNAMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccuracy of turbulence parameterization in representing planetary boundary layer (PBL) processes and surface?atmosphere interactions in climate models is critical for predicting the initiation and development of clouds. ...
