Reactor Core Design and Analysis for a Micronuclear Power Source
Underwater vehicle is designed to ensure the security of country sea boundary, providing harsh requirements for its power system design. Conventional power sources, such as battery and Stirling engine, are featured with low power and short lifetime. Micronuclear reactor power source featured with higher power density and longer lifetime would strongly meet the demands of unmanned underwater veh...
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 کاملReactor Physics Analysis of the VHTGR Core
As part of an I-NERI project to develop safety analysis codes and experimental validation for a VeryHigh Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTGR), we have developed MCNP5 [1] models to represent material heterogeneities inherent in the microsphere fuel particles and fuel compacts for a GT-MHR design [2]. We have also performed preliminary coupled nuclear-thermalhydraulic (NTH) analysis to obtain ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Reactor Physics Laboratory Simulation Software
The basic structure of a reactor physics laboratory environment simulation software, developed using object modeling technique (OMT), and based on the reactor point kinetic equation, is presented. Also, various capabilities of the simulator in teaching the fundamental concepts of reactor physics are discussed. In this virtual laboratory, student can perform seven different experiments, ...
متن کاملDesign and analysis of helium Brayton power cycles for HiPER reactor
Helium Brayton cycles have been studied as power cycles for both fission and fusion reactors obtaining high thermal efficiency. This paper studies several technological schemes of helium Brayton cycles applied for the HiPER reactor proposal. Since HiPER integrates technologies available at short term, its working conditions results in a very low maximum temperature of the energy sources, someth...
