The Oregon State University Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor test facility is employed in a series tests to evaluate condensation heat transfer in small, high pressure containment vessels characteristic of small modular reactor designs under development. This integral system test facility was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of a pioneering...
Detection of reactor antineutrinos for non-proliferation applications has been researched extensively across the globe and is considered as a potential technology to remotely monitor reactor operations without any intrusions to reactor components. Reactor antineutrino detection experiments have been conducted in the past and have proven successful in detecting the changes...
A scaling analysis of the Oregon State University (OSU) - Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) system has been developed, and an existing RELAP5-3D model of the facility was improved. The purpose of this study is to support the research of hybrid energy systems, being led by Idaho National Laboratory...
This thesis presents the assessment of the Multi Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) containment design during steady-state and transient conditions. The MASLWR project is a joint effort between Idaho National Environmental and Engineering Laboratory (INEEL), NEXANT Bechtel, and Oregon State University. The project is funded under a Nuclear Energy...
The OSU MASLWR Test facility is a scaled integral systems LOCA and proof-of-concept test facility for the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor design concept. A unique feature of this design is to utilize a small high pressure containment vessel to provide the safety containment function for an integral reactor pressure...
