Further development of methodology to model TRISO fuel and BISO absorber particles and related uncertainty quantification using SCALE 6
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)In the 350 MW Modular High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR-350), not only is the fuel double heterogeneous but so are the lumped burnable poisons (LBPs). The LBPs are composed of Bi-Structural Isotropic (BISO) particles ... -
Neutron poison distribution in the central reflector to reduce the DLOFC temperature of a Th-LEU fueled OTTO PBMR DPP-400 core
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)In a previous study using a mixture of thorium and 20 a/o% LEU at 16 gram per fuel sphere heavy metal loading and adjusting the effective fuel enrichment to produce the same amount of cumulative energy per fuel sphere as ... -
Using thorium to reduce the maximum fuel temperatures during depressurized loss of coolant accidents in a once-through-then-out (OTTO) PBMR DPP-400 core
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This article presents the results for the PBMR-DPP-400, but for a once-through-then-out (OTTO) refueling scheme. An optimization attempt of the axial and radial power profiles is reported. The main aim was to reduce the ...
