Coupled Multiphysics Earthquake Simulation of MSRs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:2323319

Earthquakes affect numerous nuclear power plants around the world and safe earthquake design requires that the physics of reactors subjected to earthquakes is well understood. This project attempts to understand the physics of molten salt reactors (MSRs) subjected to earthquakes using coupled multiphysics tools in MOOSE. A beyond-design-basis scenario of an unprotected pump trip (ULOFA) during an earthquake is analyzed.
