Solution of the Static Deflection Mode Shape Function of the Cantilever Beam under Transverse Flow Based on the Boundary Shooting Method

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
According to the characteristics of the reactor internal structure of nuclear power plants, the vibration of the secondary core support pillar in water can be modeled as the vibration of the cantilever beam structure under the action of transverse flow, and its first beam mode is highly likely to be activated.

Nuclear Power: a Hedge against Uncertain Gas and Carbon Prices? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
High fossil fuel prices have rekindled interest in nuclear power. This paper identifies specific nuclear characteristics making it unattractive to merchant generators in liberalised electricity markets, and argues that non-fossil fuel technologies have ...

Systematic study of autocorrelation time in pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory

open access: yes, 1993
Results of our autocorrelation measurement performed on Fujitsu AP1000 are reported. We analyze (i) typical autocorrelation time, (ii) optimal mixing ratio between overrelaxation and pseudo-heatbath and (iii) critical behavior of autocorrelation time ...

Development and Verification of a Spatial Dynamics Code RESTA‐3D for Light Water Reactors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
A neutronics/thermal‐hydraulics (TH) coupled spatial dynamics code, reactor system transient analysis‐three dimensional (RESTA‐3D), has been developed for both static and transient analysis of large advanced light water reactors (LWRs), with a focus on control rod (CR) ejection accidents.

Establishing and Assessing of a Leak Collection System Analysis Method by Computational Fluid Dynamics

open access: yesModelling and Simulation in Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Small leaks within a nuclear power plant can escalate into significant leaks, leading to plant shutdown and substantial losses if operational limits are exceeded. Thus, the demand for systems that can rapidly detect minor leaks is increasing. Current research seeks to address this need.
