The concepts of transfer functions, addressed in this paper, can be essential ingredients of such optimization. Accordingly, we study the dynamics of a 1D monochromatic neutron density wave generated by time modulation of a boundary neutron current. It is demonstrated that a certain temporal transfer function of both parabolic (diffusion) and low frequency hyperbolic (P?1 transport) interfacial neutron density wave happens to be frequency non-invariant with a vibrating boundary neutron current. It is proved that, only at high frequencies, both parabolic and hyperbolic interfacial neutron waves turn out to have a fully frequency-invariant and time-invariant temporal transfer function relative to such a vibrating neutron beam at the boundary. The frequency response of an associated complex transfer function is studied and demonstrated to change behavior, from a lag compensator to a fixed gain amplifier, with changing the frequency, neutron absorption and employed theory for neutron diffusion. A highlight of this paper is its illustration that mere continuity of these transfer functions can be a reflection of the correctness of the transport theory employed for modeling the neutron density waves.","PeriodicalId":16756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79158023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on a series of sensitivity tests to investigate the impacts of model changes. Parameters considered in the sensitivity study included the surge line junction resistance (SLJR), steam generator (SG) heat transfer area (SGHTA), SG primary flow area (SGPFA), SG secondary pressure (SGSP), and SG secondary flow rate (SGSF). Results for the reference and sensitivity simulations are compared with available design data. The flow in the primary circuit of the PWR-SMR is driven by natural circulation, and can be sensitive to changes in hydraulic resistance and pressure drop in system components. Initial results demonstrated significant flow oscillations. As a result of sensitivity studies, it was found that the surge line junction resistance needed to be increased to a factor of 30 to reduce mass flow oscillations to less than ±2%. Modifications to the steam generator heat transfer area, primary flow area, or secondary pressure have very little impact in reducing flow oscillations. However, it was found that the steam generator secondary flow rate will affect primary circuit flow oscillations, and when the SGSF was artificially increased from 68 kg/s (design data) to 91 kg/s (a 36% increase), the oscillations were eliminated, along with better matching with design data for core flow rate and inlet/outlet temperatures.","PeriodicalId":16756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88457333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a mini plate with zircaloy cladding from a previous experiment was evaluated via finite element analysis. By using the same plate geometry and irradiation conditions, another plate consisting of U-10Mo fuel and Al6061-O cladding was simulated. The results were then comparatively evaluated to explore the feasibility of employing zircaloy as an alternative cladding. Simulations indicated the zircaloy cladding plate would operate roughly 50°C hotter as compared with the Al alloy cladding plate. Larger deformations in the thickness direction for the plate with zircaloy cladding were noted. It was observed that the post-fabrication stresses in the fuel would be relieved quickly in the reactor, regardless of cladding type. Although the fuel stresses would still develop at reactor shutdown, the fuel would be stress-free during the irradiation for both cladding types. At shutdown, the plate with zircaloy cladding would have higher stresses due to higher operating temperatures. Similarly, the stresses after shutdown are higher in the foil core for the plates with zircaloy cladding. The Al cladding plate would have higher plastic strains as compared with the zircaloy cladding plate. The zircaloy cladding plate is significantly stiffer, causing higher stresses in the fuel and at the interface. Overall, employing zircaloy as an alternate cladding is not expected to produce a more favorable thermomechanical performance as compared to the performance of an Al alloy cladding plate.","PeriodicalId":16756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90633481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT) has studied nuclear safety research after the Fukushima accident to answer technical and social issues of nuclear power. An update of nuclear safety research from domestic experts and international surveys was needed in order to identify potential collaborative research to serve the goal of public acceptance reinforcement. The objective of this study was to survey, assess and rank the importance and knowledge level of nuclear safety research in Thailand among domestic experts in various fields. The survey was extended to collect the opinion of international participants of the ASEAN Network on Nuclear Power Safety Research (ASEAN NPSR) to analyze the similarity of the nuclear research interest for reinforcing the future collaborative project. As a result, the importance and knowledge level showed diverse important research topics with the priority of research scopes on human factor, novel reactor technologies, and risk assessment. According to the ASEAN NPSR survey, the nuclear safety research of severe accident, risk assessment, and novel reactor technologies were listed as potential collaborative projects. Also, the domestic and ASEAN NPSR survey results helped support the new collaborative research extension session in the annual ASEAN NPSR meeting to together discuss the potential nuclear safety research between members for the 2020s.","PeriodicalId":16756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86769508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The depletion of fuel for a small modular fluoride molten salt reactor (sm-FMSR) with a closed fuel cycle based on the integral molten salt reactor (IMSR) concept has been investigated using Serpent. Three fueling schemes to control Serpent depletion cycles have been simulated and compared: step fueling (SF), continuous fueling with all fission products (FPs) accumulating in the reactor system (CFA), and continuous fueling with insoluble FPs separated from fuel (CFS). Sm-FMSRs with SF and with CFA require similar quantities of \"top-up\" fuel, consume similar fuel (fissile) amounts, and result in similar fuel isotopic concentrations if keff is kept within a similar range. However, with separation of insoluble FPs from the circulating fuel, CFS gains a large reactivity worth due to the removal of FP poisons. This allows for reduction of fuel enrichment in both initial and total top-up fuel, and leads to savings of a considerable fissile quantity in fueling MSR and in spent fuel. The Serpent depletion calculations require manual arithmetic calculations for adjustment of the Serpent built-in settings before the start of every calculation cycle for all three fueling schemes. Implementation of additional Serpent flow features in changing material volumes and flow constants would facilitate the simulation of the fuel depletion process and allow for more realistic simulations of fuel circulation.","PeriodicalId":16756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88048095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
