Estimation of local linear heat rate jump values in the variable loading mode [PDF]
A method of the WWER-1000 fuel element cladding durability analysis using the energy creep theory makes it possible to determinate the WWER-1000 reactor permissible operation time for the mode of varying loading. But the WWER-1000 axial segments and fuel

Role of Passive Safety Systems in Chinese Nuclear Power Development
Passive safety systems have been widely applied to advanced water‐cooled reactors, to enhance the safety of nuclear power plants. The ambitious program of the nuclear power development in China requires reactor concepts with high safety level. For the near‐term and medium‐term, the Chinese government decided for advanced pressurized water reactors with

Mathematical Models for Investigation of WWER-1000/320 Transients
The paper presents mathematical models of the reactor WWER-1000/320, which are designed to investigate non-stationary operating modes of the reactor. The models in relative state variables include a point model of neutron kinetics with six groups of delayed neutrons and models of thermal processes, gradual heat generation, change in xenon concentration.

The Use of Th in HTR: State of the Art and Implementation in Th/Pu Fuel Cycles
Nowadays nuclear is the only greenhouse‐free source that can appreciably respond to the increasing worldwide energy demand. The use of Thorium in the nuclear energy production may offer some advantages to accomplish this task. Extensive R&D on the thorium fuel cycle has been conducted in many countries around the world.

Use of the Natural Circulation Flow Map for Natural Circulation Systems Evaluation
The aim of this paper is to collect and resume the work done to build and develop, at the University of Pisa, an engineering tool related to the natural circulation. After a brief description of the different loop flow regimes in single phase and two phase, the derivation of a suitable tool to judge the NC performance in a generic system is presented ...

Brittle Fracture Probabilistic Assessment of WWER-1000 RPVs
This paper presents a methodology for brittle fracture probability assessment of WWER-1000 RPVs subjected to PTS. The main attention of the study is focused on the definition of the stochastic input data: fracture toughness, CTB, size and shape of the defects. Fracture toughness of RPV metal in the initial state is determined, separately
