Recent Advanced Reactor Multiphysics Model Highlights in the Virtual Test Bed (VTB)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:2319243
The Virtual Test Bed (VTB) host over 30 distinct simulations that showcase state-of-the art capabilities across the national lab complex. An update on the status of models on the VTB is summarized here, along with a more detailed overview of select recent new capabilities to showcase. All of the major advanced reactor types are represented in the VTB. The first example consists of a multiphysics simulation to track the transport of species in Molten Salt Reactors using depletion, advection, and thermochemical calculations. The second consists of a coupled neutronic and thermal hydraulic simulation to validate a gas cooled reactor. The third consist of pebble-bed equilibrium model for a fluoride high-temperature reactor. The fourth is a high-fidelity neutronic and thermal hydraulic model of a liquid metal reactor assembly. And lastly the fifth consists of transient multiphysics simulations of heat pipe microreactors.
