Nuclear fuel in a reactor accident.
Nuclear accidents that lead to melting of a reactor core create heterogeneous materials containing hundreds of radionuclides, many with short half-lives. The long-lived fission products and transuranium elements within damaged fuel remain a concern for millennia. Currently, accurate fundamental models for the prediction of release rates of radionuclides from fuel, especially in contact with wat...
متن کاملThe importance of input interactions in the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of nuclear fuel behavior
The propagation of uncertainties in a PWR fuel rod under steady-state irradiation is analyzed by computational means. A hypothetical steady-state scenario of the Three Mile Island 1 reactor fuel rod is modeled with the fuel performance FRAPCON, using realistic input uncertainties for the fabrication and model parameters, boundary conditions and material properties. The uncertainty and sensitivi...
متن کاملInterconnect modeling and sensitivity analysis using adjoint networks reduction technique
An efficient model-order reduction technique for general RLC networks is proposed. The method is extended from the previous projection-base moment matching method with considering both the circuit network and its corresponding adjoint network. By exploring symmetric properties of the MNA formulation, the proposed method needs only one half of the system moment information compared with the prev...
متن کاملNuclear Aerosol Behavior during Reactor Accidents
-Some early reactor accidents are recalled together with their associated environmental consequences. One such consequence is the generation of radioactive aerosol. We describe the various physical processes that such an aerosol cloud undergoes within the secondary containment building. These physical processes are then brought together quantitatively in a balance equation for the aerosol size ...
متن کاملFlow Blockage Accident Analysis of Tehran Research Reactor Fuel Assembly
Tehran Research Reactor (T.R.R.) is a pool-type, 5 MW thermal research reactor. One probable event is that if some external objects or debris fall down into the reactor core and cause obstruction of the coolant flow through one of the fuel assemblies, decreasing the surface flow area, ceases the coolant flow, and also raises the fuel and sheaths tempe...
