A passive decay heat removal system for the lead cooled fast reactor demonstrator “Alfred”

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2015
Abstract The generation IV lead cooled fast reactors are of particular interest for the Italian research. At present, one significant European project in progress is LEADER (Lead cooled European Advanced DEmonstrator Reactor) which includes, among its goals, the construction of a lead-cooled fast reactor demonstrator, ALFRED (Advanced Lead Fast ...

A CFD-based design optimization of air-cooled passive decay heat removal system

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract The concept of the APDHR (Air-cooled Passive Decay Heat Removal) system was suggested to preserve the safety of a nuclear reactor during accidents. Until 3 days after the reactor shutdown caused by non-LOCA accident, water in the Passive Condensate Cooling Tank (PCCT) was used to condense the steam in secondary side.

Reliability studies of decay heat removal system

2010 2nd International Conference on Reliability, Safety and Hazard - Risk-Based Technologies and Physics-of-Failure Methods (ICRESH), 2010
Passive systems have been implemented in most of the advanced reactors in order to improve the availability of the plant. In this paper the methodology used for performing the passive system reliability analysis has been discussed. A case study on passive decay heat removal system of large sized PHWRs has also been discussed.

Control of decay heat removal through alternate system in PFBR

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2013
Abstract In the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) decay heat is removed directly from the reactor core through Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal (SGDHR) circuit. Operation Grade Decay Heat Removal (OGDHR) system offers an alternate decay heat removal path using the heat removal capacity of the main heat transport system. It is preferred path during

Transient Analysis of Passive Decay Heat Removal System for CEFR

Volume 2: Plant Systems, Construction, Structures and Components; Next Generation Reactors and Advanced Reactors, 2013
A passive decay heat removal system (DHRS) has been installed on Chinese Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR). To well predict the thermal-hydraulics behavior of DHRS in transient, an integrated model has been developed for CEFR by using OASIS code. The model included the main thermal transfer system and DHRS circuit.

Numerical simulations of an innovative decay heat removal systems

The European Physical Journal Plus, 2020
The general interest in innovative forms of nuclear energy from fission leads many industrial companies and research institutions to develop ambitious projects to design an innovative reactor fleet. Often such new designs are based on innovative reactor coolants and imply as a consequence a complete change of the technology know how.
