Title: MORECA-GT: Interactive simulator for gas-turbine modular HTGR transients and heatup accidents with ATWS options

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10127627

An interactive simulation code for studying postulated heatup accidents in modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (MHTGRs) has been adapted to assist with parametric design studies of the US Department of Energy`s (DOE`s) direct-cycle gas-turbine MHTGR concept. The studies show that the proposed MHTGR designs are very robust and can generally withstand the consequences of extremely low probability accidents with little or no damage to the reactor`s fuel or metallic components.
