Creator:: Miller, Jaden
Abstract:: Irradiation experiments are a critical aspect of the nuclear fuels and materials qualification process. Determining the flow conditions of these experiments is necessary for understanding response of nuclear components during transient and normal operation. Quality flow data is lacking for cartridge-type irradiation experiments with annular flow natural circulation designs. Data...

Creator:: Wright, Alexander A.
Abstract:: Metallic nuclear fuels have long been studied for use in advanced nuclear reactors, with efforts invested in improving the viability of metallic nuclear fuel elements and overall safety of advanced reactor design concepts. During reactor operations, fuel forms undergo restructuring due to a variety of physical phenomena. Expansion of the...

Creator:: Leitherer, Brett C.
Abstract:: Advanced reactor designs offer many advantages over typical Light Water Reactors (LWRs) including fast neutron capability, passive safety features, and improved performance. While the future for these reactors seems promising, operating and test experience is necessary to further validate such claims. The development of full-scale facilities has proved to be...

Creator:: Winkle, Tristan
Abstract:: Vibration of nuclear fuel rods is an area of significance for the long-term safe operation of any nuclear power plant. One mechanism of vibration, flow induced vibration (FIV), must be quantified when designing a new core, such as a sodium fast reactor which employs helically-wrapped wire spacers. Experimental work undertaken...

Creator:: Johnson, Juwan A.
Abstract:: Sodium Cooled Fast Reactors (SFR) are complex and expensive due to high operating temperatures and neutron flux which pose technical challenges for these reactors. To overcome these challenges with SFRs, research and development of small scale and large-scale facilities are needed to bridge the gap in understanding. Scaling analyses develop...

Creator:: Nixon, Chad A.
Abstract:: Vibration of nuclear power plant components can cause fretting wear and fatigue that can eventually lead to component failure. Flexible, high-aspect ratio components under flow, such as the wire-wrapped cylindrical fuel elements in a liquid metal-cooled fast reactor (LMFR) core, are particularly susceptible to vibration due to their low natural...
