Application of sandwich structure analysis in predicting critical flow velocity for a laminated flat plate

Creator:: Jensen, Philip
Abstract:: The Oregon State University (OSU), Hydro Mechanical Fuel test Facility (HMFTF) is designed to hydro-mechanically test prototypical plate type fuel. OSU's fuel test program is a part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI), formerly known as the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor program. One of the GTRI's...

Design of a Pebble Bed Separate Effects Test for Molten Salt Reactors

Creator:: Uselman, Jacob S.
Abstract:: The licensing of novel nuclear reactor power plant designs requires extensive research and testing. A significant portion of this work is dedicated to the design and operation of scaled-down testing facilities that emulate various plant conditions. The data gathered from these test facilities is used to compare to predictive models....

An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

Creator:: Howard, Trevor
Abstract:: As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...

Creation and Application of Voxelized Dosimetric Models : An Evaluation of Dose Conversion Factor in Apis Mellifera

Creator:: Gomez Fernandez, Mario Enrique
Abstract:: Over the past decade the International Commission on Radiological Protection has developed a comprehensive approach to environmental protection that includes the use of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) to assess radiological impacts on the environment. For the purposes of calculating radiation dose, the RAPs are approximated as simple shapes that...

Numerical Investigation of Unsteady Inertial and Turbulent Flows Through Porous Media: Pore-scale DNS, Flow Analyses and Upscaling

Creator:: He, Xiaoliang
Abstract:: Porous media are the materials containing void space or pores, where fluids and gases can pass through. Unsteady flows in porous media are encountered in many engineering applications and natural problems, such as CO₂ sequestration, high temperature nuclear reactor cooling, high efficiency combustion, chemical reactors, noise reduction on airplane trailing...

Predicting antineutrino source terms from a high temperature gas reactor

Creator:: Shaughnessy, Andra L.
Abstract:: Since the 1990s, researchers around the world have been creating antineutrino detectors for monitoring power reactors. These detectors have been deployed at light water reactors and are able to determine power levels and burn up throughout a fuel cycle. This technology could allow the IAEA to monitor LWRs remotely and...

Top-down scaling analysis of the integral reactor vessel test facility

Creator:: Graves, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Oregon State University has conducted research in collaboration with TerraPower, LLC, to perform a top-down scaling analysis of an integrated test facility. The goal of this facility is to simulate transient and quasi-steady phenomena at a reduced scale, including steady-state operation, pump coastdown, natural circulation, reactor head heat transfer, and...

Characterization of fission product transport in a gen. IV gas-cooled fast reactor plant utilizing vented fuel

Creator:: Deason, Wesley
Abstract:: Fission product transport in a Gen. IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant utilizing vented fuel has been characterized using analytical and computational methods. The goal was to increase current understanding of fission product transport in helium-cooled GFRs using vented fuel and to provide a toolset for determining issues which may arise...

Effects of fluid axial conduction on liquid metal natural circulation and linear stability

Creator:: Sabharwall, Piyush
Abstract:: The effect of fluid axial thermal conduction on one-dimensional liquid metal natural circulation and its linear stability was performed through non-dimensional analysis, steady-state assessment, and linear perturbation evaluation. The Nyquist criterion and a root search method were employed to find the linear stability boundary of both forward and backward circulations....
