Supercritical Water-cooled Nuclear Reactors: Review and Status

Modern concepts of nuclear reactors cooled with supercritical water are presented together with a short history. The supercritical water-cooled CANDU ((CANada Deuterium Uranium) is a registered trademark of AECL) reactor concept is fully discussed. Also, thermophysical properties at critical and supercritical pressures as well as heat transfer and hydraulic resistance at these conditions are pr...

High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors

A Characteristics-based Implicit Finite- Difference Scheme for the Analysis of Instability in Water Cooled Reactors

Two-phase flow systems are prone to dynamic and static instabilities of many kinds. In the last few decades, a considerable amount of work on the two-phase flow instability has been carried out all over the world. Several numerical, experimental and analytical studies were conducted to understand two-phase flow instabilities and to derive the stability criteria. Theoretical modelling of density...

GAS COOLED REACTORS (Session 6) Chairpersons

The High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is particularly attractive due to its capability of producing high temperature helium gas and inherent safety characteristics. These interesting aspects make HTGR worthy of discussion on the future advanced reactors. The Japanese interest in the HTGR has resulted in the construction of the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (the HTTR) at the...
