Neutronic analysis of a heat-pipe cooled reactor
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2023 Heat-pipe cooled reactors belong to the group of nuclear reactors using heat pipes filled with liquid metals (such as sodium or potassium) to cool the core. Due to the passive heat removal system, there is no need to use closed loops with pumps, and the

CFD Investigation of MHTGR Natural Circulation and Decay Heat Removal in P-LOFC Accident
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2020 One of the key postulated accidents in a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is the pressurized loss of forced cooling (P-LOFC) of the primary loop, which can be triggered by its primary helium circulator trip or turbine trip.
