  • 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....

    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...

  • Proof of concept of the use of RAVEN and RELAP5-3D for risk informed safety margin characterization

    Creator:
    Riley, Thomas H.
    Abstract:
    This project was a proof of concept of the use of the RAVEN software, a tool developed for the Risk Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) approach, with RELAP5-3D. This novel approach combines older probabilistic and mechanistic approaches to look at how and why the complex systems of a nuclear power...
