Creator:: Blake, Grant C.
Abstract:: The Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System (DRACS) is a passive safety system capable of removing decay heat directly from the reactor core. Its modularity makes it scalable for use in reactors with various power levels. Work has previously been completed to support inclusion of the DRACS in liquid metal reactors...

Creator:: Brawley, Luke P.
Abstract:: The purpose of this work was to explore the feasibility of using the GOTHIC thermal hydraulics software package to model a pressurized conduction cooldown event in the High Temperature Test Facility. To achieve that aim, a model of the facility was constructed in the GOTHIC software and a selection of...

Creator:: Reynolds, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Circulating fuel reactor (CFR) kinetics are characterized by delayed neutron precursor (DNP) drift in addition to the neutronic and thermal hydraulic phenomena typical of other reactor types. This environment can be computationally challenging to model, given that the multiphysics phenomena generally have non-linear interdependencies requiring the use of iterative solution...

Creator:: Glass, Molly
Abstract:: The High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) is an electrically heated, scaled model of a Modular High Temperature Gas Reactor (MHTGR). Five experiments were conducted to study Depressurized Conduction Cool-Down phenomena stemming from a Double-Ended Guillotine Break (DEGB). After a DEGB, the reactor pressure vessel would depressurize until the pressures are...
