Core Design and Deployment Strategy of Heavy Water Cooled Sustainable Thorium Reactor
Our previous studies on water cooled thorium breeder reactor based on matured pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant technology concluded that reduced moderated core by arranging fuel pins in a triangular tight lattice array and using heavy water as coolant is appropriate for achieving better breeding performance and higher burn-up simultaneously [1–6]. One optimum core that produces 3.5 GW ther...
متن کاملDesign Windows for a He Cooled Fusion Reactor*
A design window concept is developed for a He-cooled fusion reactor blanket and divertor design. This concept allows study of a parameter regime under which a possible design exists with different design requirements, such as allowable pumping fraction. The concept identifies not only the required parameter regime, but also investigates the robustness of the design, i.e., the validity of the de...
متن کاملCore Loading Design for Bushehr Pressurized Water Reactor
The modified out-in fuel management strategy was applied to the core loading design for the first four cycles of the Bushehr (Iran-1) KWU designed Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). The minimum peak-to-average power density was chosen as the objective function of the optimization process. Lattice homogenization and group constants generation were performed by using the LEOPARD computer code. For ...
متن کاملTritium Analysis of a Water-cooled Solid Breeder Blanket for Iter*
Mass, (lo6 g) Volume, (m3) Thickness, (cm) T. Gen. Rate, (g/day) Abstract: This paper presents quantitative predict,ions for the tritium release and inventory in a water-cooled solid breeder blanket for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) obtained from the tritium transport code MISTRAL [l] recently developed at UCLA. The blanket consists of a layout assembly of solid br...
متن کاملCritical Assessment of Thorium Reactor Technology
Thorium-based fuels for nuclear reactors are being considered for use with current and future designs in both large and small-scale energy production. Thorium-232 is as abundant on Earth as lead, far more common than all isotopes of uranium, leading to its greatly reduced cost. Thorium itself offers a significantly greater neutron absorption cross-section than uranium at thermal energies, resul...
