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...

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...

Creator:: Gutowska, Izabela
Abstract:: To understand how a Depressurized Loss of Forced Convection (D-LOFC) initiated from a double-ended guillotine break may affect further operation of a High Temperature Gas Cooled Rector (HTGR), thorough understanding of each specific stage of this event is required. Key considerations that need to be determined is the amount of...

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...
