Applying uncertainty and sensitivity on thermal hydraulic subchannel analysis for the multi-application small light water reactor

Creator:

Brigantic, Adam

Abstract:

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a recent advancement in commercial nuclear reactor design with growing interest worldwide. New SMR concepts, such as the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), must undergo a licensing processes established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prior to commercial operation. Given the lack of...

Subchannel Analysis for the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor AN ABSTRACT OF THE
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...

A thermal hydraulics analysis of a molybdenum production element for implementation in TRIGA reactors

Creator:

Byfield, Patrick

Abstract:

The metastable isotope of technetium-99 (Tc-99m) is an important diagnostic tool used in the field of nuclear medicine due to the isotope's 6.0 hour half-life, 140.5 keV γ-decay mechanism, and multiple oxidation states [1,2]. Approximately 70% of the world’s nuclear medicine procedures involve the use of Tc-99m [3]. The conventional...
