  • High pressure condensation heat transfer in the evacuated containment of a small modular reactor

    Creator:
    Casey, Jason R.
    Abstract:
    At Oregon State University the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) integral effects testing facility is being prepared for safety analysis matrix testing in support of the NuScale Power Inc. (NSP) design certification progress. The facility will be used to simulate design basis accident performance of the reactor's safety systems....

    Lenhof, Renae
    Abstract:
    A limited scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) of a vented nuclear fuel system for a Generation IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant was performed. The goal of the study was to better understand the safety and licensing implications of vented fuel technology. A Level 1 PRA was performed to determine the...

  • Flow Dynamics and Condensation of Film Flows in Small Modular Reactors

    Creator:
    Lee, Dongyoung
    Abstract:
    There is renewed interest in the reliability and safety of nuclear power plants following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident followed by 8.9 magnitude earthquake and Tsunami with the height of 15 m on March 11, 2011. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have been developed to improve safety systems by utilizing passive...

  • RELAP5-3D modeling of ADS blowdown of MASLWR facility

    Creator:
    Bowser, Christopher Jordan
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University has hosted an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) International Collaborative Standard Problem (ICSP) through testing conducted on the Multi-Application Small Light Water (MASLWR) facility. The MASLWR facility features a full-time natural circulation loop in the primary vessel and a unique pressure suppression device for accident scenarios. Automatic...
