Scaling analysis of the Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System for Gas-cooled Fast Reactors during a Depressurized Loss of Forced Convection Event

Creator:

Blake, Grant C.

Abstract:

The Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System (DRACS) is a passive safety system capable of removing decay heat directly from the reactor core. Its modularity makes it scalable for use in reactors with various power levels. Work has previously been completed to support inclusion of the DRACS in liquid metal reactors...

: Scaling Analysis of the Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System for Gas-cooled Fast Reactors during a
Natural Convection Heat Transfer and Boundary Layer Transition for Vertical Heated Cylinders

Creator:

Goodrich, Sam S.

Abstract:

In recent years, the global nuclear industry has placed a greater emphasis on passively safe reactor designs. In particular, much attention and design work has been applied to engineered systems for passive cooling of nuclear fuel, whether it be loaded in a core or stored in spent fuel pools. The...
