Abstract The High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is an advanced reactor design
being pursued by several different domestic and international organizations due to its high …

Reactor internals are installed in the reactor vessel and are subsequently removed during
periodic inspections. To facilitate this process, a gap is maintained between the outlet of the …

The bypass flow in a prismatic very high temperature reactor (VHTR) core is an important
parameter in reactor design, which has not been well assessed in publications to date. To …

压水反应堆内冷却剂旁漏流流道尺寸多是狭窄缝隙, 狭窄缝隙尺寸很敏感, 很容易受到系统压力,
压差, 温度, 振动等因素的影响. 微小的尺寸变化又会引起阻力系数明显改变 …

The core of the very high temperature reactor (VHTR) PMR200 (a prismatic modular reactor
rated at 200 MW of thermal power) consists of hexagonal prismatic fuel blocks and reflector …

Modeling and simulation tools play an important role in the design and licensing of reactors,
but models alone are insufficient for licensing reactors. As advanced reactors approach …

Abstract The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has developed the Core
Reliable Optimization and thermofluid Network Analysis (CORONA) code for core …

Fuel assembly bypass flow is the coolant flow through the guide thimble and the instrument.
The fuel assembly bypass flow should be limited to ensure that there is sufficient coolant in …

This paper documents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation benchmark
experiment for flow through three parallel, heated channels from one plenum to another. The …

Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has developed CORONA (Core Reliable
