Scaling of the Chinese HTR-PM Reactor Design for Licensing and Testing at the Oregon State University High Temperature Test Facility

Creator:

Cox, Jordan

Abstract:

The United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the pebble-bed reactor as a high priority for US research with the end goal of licensing a pebble-bed reactor (PBR) for operation in the United States. Before this can be accomplished significant research must be done regarding the safety of...

Scaling analysis for the pebble bed of the very high temperature gas-cooled reactor thermal hydraulic test facility

Creator:

Nelson, Benjamin L.

Abstract:

The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) has two possible core configurations, a hexagonal prismatic and a pebble bed. It is essential that an experimental facility be built for the validation of computer codes for the safe operation of the VHTR. The scaling of the prismatic core configuration has been analyzed...
