  • Probabilistic risk assessment of a vented fuel system utilized in a generation IV gas-cooled fast reactor nuclear power plant

    Creator:
    Lenhof, Renae
    Abstract:
    A limited scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) of a vented nuclear fuel system for a Generation IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant was performed. The goal of the study was to better understand the safety and licensing implications of vented fuel technology. A Level 1 PRA was performed to determine the...

  • Fission Gas Bubble Behavior in Uranium Carbide

    Creator:
    Matthews, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The need for cheap reliable energy, while simultaneously avoiding uranium supply constraints makes uranium carbide (UC) fueled Gas Fast Reactors offer an attractive nuclear reactor design. In order to qualify the fuel, an enhanced understanding of the behavior of uranium carbide during operation is paramount. Due to a reduced re-solution...

  • An MCNP benchmark model of the large experimental ZPPR-19B sodium fast reactor

    Creator:
    Onufer, Mark
    Abstract:
    The International Handbook of Evaluated Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments contains detailed descriptions of many different reactor facilities. A large portion of these experiments have not been fully modeled due to the unavailability of computational power at the time of the experiment’s execution. With the advent of renewed interest in Sodium...
