High uranium density dispersion fuel for the reduced enrichment of research and test reactors program

Creator:: Robinson, Adam B.
Abstract:: This work describes the fabrication of a high uranium density fuel for the Reduced Enrichment of Research and Test Reactors Program. In an effort to decrease the use of high enriched uranium in research and test reactors around the world, new fuels with high uranium densities must be developed such...

Development of a Strain Gage Program for the Measurement of Strain on Prototypic, Plate-type, High Performance Research Reactor Fuels under Flow Testing

Creator:: Weiss, Aaron W.
Abstract:: A large, multi-year experimental program has been conducted to develop a strain gaging program for application to the flow testing of prototypic, plate-type fuel for high performance research reactors. This test program has resulted in the selection of appropriate strain gage construction, adhesives, and protective coatings to allow the acquisition...

Effect of Initial System Temperature on Initiation of Natural Circulation during a Depressurized Conduction Cooldown Event in the High Temperature Test Facility

Creator:: Brumback, Kyle E.
Abstract:: High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGR) are a type of power plants that can provide industrial process heat and high efficiency, carbon-free electricity. The High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) has been designed to provide data that can be used for the validation of system codes and verification of passive safety features...

Scaling analysis of the OSU high temperature test facility during a pressurized conduction cooldown event using RELAP5-3D

Creator:: Castañeda, Juan A.
Abstract:: In early 2000, the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) was created to perform research and development for the next generation nuclear systems. Among the selected nuclear systems was the Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTR). Then in 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) decided that the Next Generation Nuclear...

CFD analysis of pressure differentials in a plate-type fuel assembly

Creator:: Roth, Gable D.
Abstract:: The Hydro-Mechanical Fuel Test Facility (HMFTF) is being built at Oregon State University to evaluate fluid flow through plate-type fuel assemblies. The first plate assembly that will be examined in the facility is the Generic Test Plate Assembly (GTPA). The GTPA consists of an array of six parallel flat plates,...

The Development of a Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Simulation Code in C++ for the Modeling of the SPT-70 Hall Thruster

Creator:: Myers, Conner J.
Abstract:: In order to support the growing satellite propulsion industry, a hybrid Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation with fluid treatment of electrons and neutral particles was developed to model the SPT-70 Hall thruster. The 2D, C++ code assumes azimuthal symmetry and a uniform magnetic field in the radial direction with the simulation domain...

Scaling analysis for the pebble bed of the very high temperature gas-cooled reactor thermal hydraulic test facility

Creator:: Nelson, Benjamin L.
Abstract:: The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) has two possible core configurations, a hexagonal prismatic and a pebble bed. It is essential that an experimental facility be built for the validation of computer codes for the safe operation of the VHTR. The scaling of the prismatic core configuration has been analyzed...

Scaling study of the depressurized conduction cooldown event in the high temperature test facility using RELAP5-3D/ATHENA

Creator:: Aldridge, Robert J.
Abstract:: In 2008, the Department of Energy (DOE) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NCR) decided that the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) would be the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). In support of the licensing and validation effort of the VHTR, Oregon State University was tasked with designing, building, and operating a...

Feasibility of GOTHIC for a Pressurized Conduction Cooldown Event in the High Temperature Test Facility

Creator:: Brawley, Luke P.
Abstract:: The purpose of this work was to explore the feasibility of using the GOTHIC thermal hydraulics software package to model a pressurized conduction cooldown event in the High Temperature Test Facility. To achieve that aim, a model of the facility was constructed in the GOTHIC software and a selection of...
