  • On the mechanism transition of power transient critical heat flux

    Creator:
    Yan, Yikuan
    Abstract:
    The reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) accident has stirred wide interest for the need of designing advanced and high tolerance fuels for next generation nuclear power plants. For pressurized water reactors (PWRs), the accidentally induced reactivity pulse adds transient energy input to the fuel. As a result, boiling may happen locally. Boiling...

  • Dynamic System Scaling Application to Accelerated Nuclear Fuel Testing

    Creator:
    Yoshiura, Ramon K.
    Abstract:
    The development of nuclear fuel and materials requires is a continuous effort to investigate the acute and prolonged effects of irradiation, thermal-material stress, chemical change, or other conceivable damage mechanics acquired during normal operation or accident scenarios throughout its lifetime. As in-core fuel property measurement techniques advance to support in...

  • Development of a Rapid Power Transient Critical Heat Flux Model

    Creator:
    Brown, Emory G.
    Abstract:
    The understanding of critical heat flux is crucial for the safety of nuclear reactors. To this end, many studies have been carried out to understand various aspects of the boiling crisis phenomenon. Power transient critical heat flux trigger mechanisms is a small category that is relatively under-studied and not well...
