Thermal hydraulics analysis of the Advanced High Temperature Reactor

Journal Article Wang, Dean ; Yoder, Graydon L. ; Pointer, David W. ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

The Advanced High Temperature Reactor (AHTR) is a liquid salt-cooled nuclear reactor design concept, featuring low-pressure molten fluoride salt coolant, a carbon composite fuel form with embedded coated particle fuel, passively triggered negative reactivity insertion mechanisms, and fully passive decay heat rejection. This article describes an AHTR system model developed using the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) thermal hydraulic transient code TRAC/RELAP Advanced Computational Engine (TRACE). The TRACE model includes all of the primary components: the core, downcomer, hot legs, cold legs, pumps, direct reactor auxiliary cooling system (DRACS), the primary heat exchangers (PHXs), etc. The TRACE model was used tomore »« less

Advanced Multiphysics Thermal-Hydraulics Models for the High Flux Isotope Reactor

Conference Jain, Prashant K ; Freels, James D

Engineering design studies to determine the feasibility of converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) from using highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel are ongoing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This work is part of an effort sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Reactor Conversion Program. HFIR is a very high flux pressurized light-water-cooled and moderated flux-trap type research reactor. HFIR s current missions are to support neutron scattering experiments, isotope production, and materials irradiation, including neutron activation analysis. Advanced three-dimensional multiphysics models of HFIR fuel were developed in COMSOL software for safety basismore »« less

An integrated systems calculation of a steam generator tube rupture in a modular prismatic HTGR (high-temperature gas-cooled reactor) conceptual design using ATHENA (Advanced Thermal-Hydraulic Energy Network Analyzer)

Conference Beelman, R J - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society; (United States)

The capability to perform integrated systems calculations of modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) transients has been developed at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) using the Advanced Thermal-Hydraulic Energy Network Analyzer (ATHENA) computer code. A scoping calculation of a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) water ingress event in a prismatic 2 {times} 350-MW(thermal) MHTGR conceptual design has been completed at INEL using ATHENA. The proposed MHTGR design incorporates dual, graphite-moderated, helium-cooled, 350-MW(thermal), annular prismatic core concept reactor plants, each configured with an individual helical once-through steam generator steaming a common 280-MW(electric) turbine generator set.
Phenomena identification and ranking table study for thermal hydraulics for Advanced High Temperature Reactor

Journal Article Lin, Hsun-Chia ; Zhang, Sheng ; Diamond, David ; ... - Annals of Nuclear Energy (Oxford)

The Advanced High Temperature Reactor (AHTR) is a conceptual design of a Fluoride salt-cooled High temperature Reactor (FHR) utilizing (LiF)-Li-7-BeF2 (66-34 mol%) as its primary coolant. To identify key phenomena that impose potential challenges on thermal hydraulics modeling and simulation of such a reactor system, a thermal hydraulics phenomena identification and ranking table (TH-PIRT) study was performed for the AHTR in a Department of Energy Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) integrated research project led by Georgia Institute of Technology. A panel of experts from regulators, industries, national laboratories, and academia was assembled for the study. In this paper, the TH-PIRT5more »« less
