Modeling of Prismatic High Temperature Reactors in Pronghorn
- Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
Pronghorn is a Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) based thermal-hydraulics code developed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for advanced reactor analysis. It has been previously applied to model Pebble-Bed High Temperature Reactors (High Temperature Reactor (HTR)s), Liquid-Metal Cooled Reactors, and Molten Salt Reactors, among others. This work applies the coarse-mesh thermal hydraulics capabilities in Pronghorn to model Prismatic-Core HTRs. In particular, the Oregon State University (OSU)’s High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) is modeled with Pronghorn. The HTTF is a 1:4 height scaled-down facility of General Atomics’ Modular High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor.
