Decay Heat Removal in GEN IV Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactors
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 The safety goal of the current designs of advanced high‐temperature thermal gas‐cooled reactors (HTRs) is that no core meltdown would occur in a depressurization event with a combination of concurrent safety system failures. This study focused on the analysis of passive decay heat removal (DHR) in a GEN IV direct‐cycle gas‐cooled fast reactor (GFR ...

Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactor: A Historical Overview and Future Outlook
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 A review is given of developments in the area of Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactors (GCFR) in the period from roughly 1960 until 1980. During that period, the GCFR concept was expected to increase the breeding gain, the thermal efficiency of a nuclear power plant, and alleviate some of the problems associated with liquid metal coolants.

The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing TechnologyAbstractThe production of lithium-rich ceramic pebbles is crucial for future fusion reactors, as they are one of the most important components of the tritium-breeding blankets. In order to produce high-quality pebbles, a melt-based fabrication process KALOS (KArlsruhe Lithium OrthoSilicate) has been developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ...
