A Particle-bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor Core Design for Waste Minimisation
The issue of waste minimisation in advanced reactor systems has been investigated using the Particle-Bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (PB-GCFR) design being developed and funded under the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (USDOE NERI) Programme. Results indicate that for the given core power density and constraint on the maximum TRU enrichment allowable, the lowest amount ...
متن کاملLarge Eddy Simulation in Pebble Bed Gas Cooled Core Reactors
A High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is one of the renewed reactor designs to play a role in nuclear power generation. This reactor design concept is currently under consideration and development worldwide. The combination of coated particle fuel, inert helium gas as coolant and graphite moderated reactor makes possible to operate at high temperature yielding a high efficiency. In this ...
متن کاملPiccolo Micromegas: first in-core measurements in a nuclear reactor
An Accelerator Driven System (ADS) consists in the coupling of an accelerator with a nuclear reactor. Such systems will need neutron detectors working in a wide energy range and insensitive to Xand γ-rays. Micromegas technology has been proposed to achieve this goal. The ability of Micromegas to detect neutrons over a wide energy range has already been demonstrated and this detector is, under c...
متن کاملAdaptive Polynomial Chaos Techniques for Uncertainty Quantification of a Gas Cooled Fast Reactor Transient
Uncertainty quantification plays an increasingly important role in the nuclear community, especially with the rise of Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty methodologies. Sensitivity analysis, surrogate models, Monte Carlo sampling and several other techniques can be used to propagate input uncertainties. In recent years however polynomial chaos expansion has become a popular alternative providing hig...
متن کاملComputing Atomic Density Changes of Material Composition in Operation of the Nuclear Reactor Core
The present work investigates an appropriate way to calculate the 1700 atomic density changes in the reactor operations. To automate this procedure, a computer program has been designed by C#. This program suggests a way to solve this problem which is based on the solution system of differential equations (Bitman) that it is designed according to Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The designed softwa...
