This study addresses the development of a compact reactor for oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM) to produce hydrogen in autothermal mode for fuel cells. The string reactor uses catalytically active brass wires with a diameter of 500 mu m placed i ...
Several new fuel designs are currently being considered within the generation-IV gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR) project. One of them, which is the GFR reference design, is a ceramic plate matrix with a honeycomb inner structure containing small fuel cylinde ...
Ionic liquids (IL) are the focus of growing interest over the last few years due to their low vapour pressure being beneficial for replacing common organic solvents with high vapour pressure. IL synthesised via alkylation are produced in batch or semi-batc ...
During the early stages of research and development chemical industry needs flexible and versatile tools to investigate chemical reaction systems. An important part of the optimisation of a process considering economic factors, risk analysis and environmen ...
In the frame of the Generation IV initiative, different structural material candidates are investigated at the Paul Scherrer Institute. These are oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels, intermetallic materials and ceramic composite materials. The respo ...

A methodology is presented for the accurate assessment of the fast neutron fluence at the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) of a pressurised water reactor (PWR). The basis is the transfer of results from deterministic CASMO-4/SIMULATE-3 core-follow calculation ...
Fuel rods with burnup values beyond 50GWd/t are characterised by relatively large amounts of fission products and a high abundance of major and minor actinides. Of particular interest is the change in the reactivity of the fuel as a function of burnup and ...
The commercial material PM2000 is investigated as a representative for the material class of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steels. ODS steels are envisaged as substance of structural components in Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR). The VHTR conce ...
The FAST code system is a general tool for analyzing advanced reactors from the viewpoint of the static and dynamic behavior of the whole reactor system. It includes an integrated three-dimensional representation of the core neutronics, appropriate modelin ...
Current fuel management strategies for light water reactors (LWRs), in countries with high back-end costs, progressively extend the discharge burnup at the expense of increasing the 235U enrichment of the fresh UO2 fuel loaded. In this perspective, standar ...
