  • System model of a natural circulation integral test facility

    Creator:
    Galvin, Mark Robert, 1967-
    Abstract:
    The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999. This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...

  • Design and analysis of a nuclear reactor core for innovative small light water reactors

    Creator:
    Soldatov, Alexey I.
    Abstract:
    In order to address the energy needs of developing countries and remote communities, Oregon State University has proposed the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) design. In order to achieve five years of operation without refueling, use of 8% enriched fuel is necessary. This dissertation is focused on core design...

  • A feasibility analysis of high conversion ratio pressurized water reactor designs

    Creator:
    Kliewer, Charles P.
    Abstract:
    A significant amount of interest has been aroused recently concerning the advancement of the current pressurized water reactor core designs with a special emphasis towards improving the conversion characteristics of these reactors. Most reports have been divided into two camps; those that deal with the neutronic aspects and those that...

  • Scaling of the thermal mixing processes within the lower plenums of VHTR designs

    Creator:
    Van Horn, Matthew A.
    Abstract:
    The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) design was one of six designs chosen for development under the Generation IV initiative. Thermal mixing of the coolant at the exit of the reactor has been a common concern for VHTR reactor designs. Thermal mixing processes are commonly investigated through the use of...

  • Hard spectrum reactor design criterion for actinide utilization

    Creator:
    Prichard, Andrew W.
    Abstract:
    The United States nuclear industry is under significant public pressure to close the nuclear fuel cycle. Closing the fuel cycle will require that nuclear waste, fission products and transuranics, except plutonium (actinides), be disposed of by permanent burial. The actinides can be buried with the fission products, but this will...

  • A study of a diffusionally controlled reactive synthesis process using a multi-tube diffusion flame burner

    Creator:
    Snell, Douglas C.
    Abstract:
    A continuous process for the production of ceramic materials has been studied. This method reacted metal and oxidizer in a diffusionally controlled process, demonstrated by reacting a magnesium particle stream and hot water vapor. Many small rich hydrogen/air diffusion flames provide an atmosphere of hot water vapor, hydrogen, and nitrogen...

  • Nuclear design analysis of low-power (1-30 KWe) space nuclear reactor systems

    Creator:
    Gedeon, Stephen R.
    Abstract:
    Preliminary nuclear design studies have been completed on ten configurations of nuclear reactors for low power (1-30 kWe) space applications utilizing thermionic energy conversion. Additional design studies have been conducted on the TRICE multimegawatt in-core thermionic reactor configuration. In each of the cases, a reactor configuration has been determined which...

  • System modeling and reactor design study of an advanced incore thermionic space reactor

    Creator:
    Lee, Hsing Hui
    Abstract:
    Incore thermionic space reactor design concepts which operate at a nominal power output range of 20 to 50 kWe are described. Details of the neutronic, thermionic, thermal hydraulics and shielding performance are presented. Due to the strong absorption of thermal neutrons by natural tungsten, and the large amount of that...
