Creator:: Haugh, Brandon Patrick
Abstract:: This thesis presents the assessment of the Multi Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) containment design during steady-state and transient conditions. The MASLWR project is a joint effort between Idaho National Environmental and Engineering Laboratory (INEEL), NEXANT Bechtel, and Oregon State University. The project is funded under a Nuclear Energy...

Creator:: Tang, Hong
Abstract:: Natural convection provides a means for circulating fluids without the use of pumps. This type of system is of great interest for a wide variety of applications, including solar heaters, process industry, and nuclear reactors. Natural convection will play a vital role in the area of passive safety and reliability,...

Creator:: Cadell, Seth R.
Abstract:: A purpose built facility was designed, built and operated at the Advanced Thermal Hydraulic Research Laboratory, which is located at Oregon State University. This facility was used to heat a plate of Alloy 304 Stainless Steel to 800 °C and then cool the plate using a fine mist of water...

Creator:: Galvin, Mark Robert, 1967-
Abstract:: The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999. This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...

Creator:: Nes, Razvan
Abstract:: The subject of this thesis is the development of a nodal discretization of the low-order quasi-diffusion (QDLO) equations for global reactor core calculations. The advantage of quasi-diffusion (QD) is that it is able to capture transport effects at the surface between unlike fuel assemblies better than the diffusion approximation. We...

Creator:: Pagh, Richard T.
Abstract:: Critical Heat Flux (CHF) is an important safety parameter for the design of nuclear reactors. The most commonly used predictive tool for determination of CHF is a look-up table developed using tube data with an average hydraulic test diameter of 8 mm. There exist in the world today nuclear reactors...

Creator:: Soldatov, Alexey I.
Abstract:: In order to address the energy needs of developing countries and remote communities, Oregon State University has proposed the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) design. In order to achieve five years of operation without refueling, use of 8% enriched fuel is necessary. This dissertation is focused on core design...
