Analysis With Different Containment Models for Containment Response of NHR200II Under Loss‐of‐Coolant Accident

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In the design of nuclear power plant systems, the thermal–hydraulic response in the containment during a loss‐of‐coolant accident (LOCA) plays a crucial role. In this study, the advanced small modular reactor NHR200‐II is selected as the research object.

Global Fossil Methane Emissions Constrained by Multi‐Isotopic Atmospheric Methane Histories

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract The global CH4 budget of sources and sinks is highly uncertain, particularly the emissions from specific sources such as fossil fuels (FF) or agriculture. Here, we estimate plausible global CH4 source and sink scenarios using historical observations and simulations of atmospheric CH4 mole fraction and its stable isotopic (δ13C‐CH4, δD‐CH4) and

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.

Assessing the Performance of Point and Two‐Point Kinetics Models in Simulating the Control Rod Drop Accident in VVER‐1000 Reactors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Reactivity‐initiated accidents (RIAs), such as the control rod drop accident (CRDA), are classified as design‐basis accidents (DBAs) in the final safety analysis report (FSAR) of a nuclear power plant (NPP), and investigating these events is crucial.

Pressurized Water Reactor Transient Detection With Artificial Intelligence to Support Reactor Operators

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Nuclear reactors are subject to strict safety standards due to the critical nature of operational safety. Detecting transients as fast and accurately as possible is essential to reactor safety especially to reduce the human error of operators. In order to enhance this process, artificial intelligence (AI) offers strong opportunities.
