Safety and licensing analyses for the Fort St. Vrain HTGR

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5275046

The ORNL safety analysis program for the HTGR includes development and verification of system response simulation codes, and applications of these codes to specific Fort St. Vrain reactor licensing problems. Licensing studies addressed the oscillation problems and the concerns about large thermal stresses in the core support blocks during a postulated accident. Other work includes proposed experiment planning, TMI action plan applicability studies, and a new siting study on the 2240 MW(th) HTGR design.
