Heat pipe type double-containment vessel as passive safety system for small modular reactors

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
This paper proposes a new concept of a passive safety system for small modular reactors as a heat pipe type double-containment vessel. The proposed system configures an additional vessel outside the existing one and functions as a heat pipe that utilizes
