Flow 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...
متن کاملCfd Prediction of Pressure Drop for the Inlet Region of a Pwr Fuel Assembly
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been widely used in pressure drop/hydraulic loss calculations in many industries, including the aerospace and turbo-machinery industry as well as in the nuclear power industry. During the past 30 years, a significant amount of time and effort have been spent in benchmarking the CFD tools and models against test data in aerospace and turbo-machinery industr...
متن کاملWafer-Level Assembly of Heterogeneous Technologies
A technology platform demonstrating wafer-level assembly of heterogeneous technologies based upon vertical wafer stacking is described. This platform offers the potential for low-cost assembly of various compound semiconductor circuits with silicon ICs for wide bandwidth optoelectronic and spaceconservative packaging applications. Process development results obtained to date are presented, and ...
متن کاملThe Analysis of TRACE/FRAPTRAN in the Fuel Rods of Maanshan PWR for LBLOCA
Fuel rod analysis program transient (FRAPTRAN) code was used to study the fuel rod performance during a postulated large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA) in Maanshan nuclear power plant (NPP). Previous transient results from thermal hydraulic code, TRACE, with the same LBLOCA scenario, were used as input boundary conditions for FRAPTRAN. The simulation results showed that the peak claddi...
متن کاملImproved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel
Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on thorium for use in tradit...
