  • Benchmarked simulation of antineutrino source terms for light water reactors during normal operation and diversion scenarios

    Creator:
    Somasundaram, Elanchezhian
    Abstract:
    Detection of reactor antineutrinos for non-proliferation applications has been researched extensively across the globe and is considered as a potential technology to remotely monitor reactor operations without any intrusions to reactor components. Reactor antineutrino detection experiments have been conducted in the past and have proven successful in detecting the changes...

  • Applying uncertainty and sensitivity on thermal hydraulic subchannel analysis for the multi-application small light water reactor

    Creator:
    Brigantic, Adam
    Abstract:
    Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a recent advancement in commercial nuclear reactor design with growing interest worldwide. New SMR concepts, such as the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), must undergo a licensing processes established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prior to commercial operation. Given the lack of...

  • Experimental investigation of condensation phenomena inside a U-tube steam generator

    Creator:
    Collins, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    Reflux condensation tests examining steam condensation in a PWR steam generator (SG) were conducted at the Oregon State University (OSU) Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) Test Facility from 2005 through 2007. The experimental data collected will provide a basis to assess TRACE steam generator modeling techniques and assist in development of...
