Analysis and optimization of energy release and fuel burnup nonuniformity in the WWER-1000 fuel assembly

open access: yesГлобальная ядерная безопасность, 2023
The paper considers and systematises the options of fuel assemblies (FAs) for the WWER-1000 reactor. In the Serpent neutron-physics code, an infinite-height fuel assembly with six fuel pins is modelled using the U49G6 pattern used in the WWER-1000 «large

Thermal-fluid-structure coupling analysis on plate-type fuel assembly under irradiation. Part-II Mechanical deformation and thermal-hydraulic characteristics

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2021
The plate-type fuel assembly adopted in nuclear research reactor suffers from complicated effect induced by non-uniform irradiation, which might affect stress conditions, mechanical behaviors and thermal-hydraulic performance of the fuel assembly.

Physical Design of High-Performance Fuel Assembly Based on Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated Fuel for Supercritical CO2 Cooled Reactor

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2021
Fully ceramic microencapsulated fuel (FCM) is employed in the supercritical CO2 (S-CO2)-cooled reactor as accident tolerant fuel (ATF). Although the fuel and the assembly substrate contain SiC, the assembly cannot be sufficiently moderated due to the ...

Chemically Fueled Self‐Assembly in Biology and Chemistry [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, 2021
AbstractLife is a non‐equilibrium state of matter maintained at the expense of energy. Nature uses predominantly chemical energy stored in thermodynamically activated, but kinetically stable, molecules. These high‐energy molecules are exploited for the synthesis of other biomolecules, for the activation of biological machinery such as pumps and motors,

Fluid Damping in Fuel Assemblies

open access: yesVolume 4: Fluid-Structure Interaction, 2017
Damping is known to be a major parameter in the seismic design of nuclear facilities. Of special interest is the case of fuel assemblies in PWR plants, which, unlike other components, are submitted to axial flows: it has been known since the late 80s that their frequency response to lateral excitations was largely dependent on the flow velocity, and ...

An anisotropic numerical model for thermal hydraulic analyses: application to liquid metal flow in fuel assemblies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A CFD analysis has been carried out to study the thermal–hydraulic behavior of liquid metal coolant in a fuel assembly of triangular lattice. In order to obtain fast and accurate results, the isotropic two-equation RANS approach is often used in nuclear
