The present doctoral research aims at the appraisal of nodal core simulators used for the calculation of commercial boiling water reactor (BWR) cores, against measurements carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute under the LWR-PROTEUS experimental progra ...
In order to meet the steadily increasing worldwide energy demand, nuclear power is expected to continue playing a key role in electricity production. Currently, the large majority of nuclear power plants are operated with thermal-neutron spectra and need r ...
Tungsten materials are candidates for plasma-facing components for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and the DEMOnstration power plant because of their superior thermophysical properties. Because these materials are not common structural ...
Granular, solid targets made of fluidized tungsten powder or static pebble bed of tungsten spheres, have been proposed and are being studied as an alternative configurations towards high-power (1MW of beam power) target systems, suitable for a future Super ...
Granular solid targets made of fluidized tungsten powder or a static pebble bed of tungsten spheres, have been proposed and are being studied as an alternative configuration for high-power (>1MW of beam power) target systems, suitable for a future Super Be ...
To improve the low-frequency spectrum of magnetic field measurements of future tokamak reactors such as ITER, several steady-state magnetic sensor technologies have been considered. For all the studied technologies it is always advantageous to place the se ...
he present invention discloses an innovative design of the sodium-cooled fast reactor subassembly wrapper tube (Figure 1 (b)) and a method for protecting the sodium-cooled fast reactor core against overheating and melting in case of the accidents accompani ...
Experimental results from the unprotected phase of the Natural Convection (NC) Test performed in the Phenix reactor in the frame of end-of-life (EOL) experiments have been used to qualify the FAST code system for Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) transient ...
In nuclear safety, most severe accident scenarios lead to the presence of fission products in aerosol form in the closed containment atmosphere. It is important to understand the particle depletion process to estimate the risk of a release of radioactivity ...
In framework of introducing TRACE code to transient analyses system codes for Leibstadt Power Plant (KKL), a conversion process of existing TRAC-BF1 model to TRACE has been started within KKL. In the first step, TRACE thermal-hydraulic model for KKL has be ...
