DESIGN STUDY OF INNOVATIVE SIMPLIFIED SMALL PEBBLE BED REACTOR

(5) PASSIVE SAFETY ANALYSIS FOR DECAY HEAT REMOVAL WITHOUT FORCED COOLING

Abstract

Neutronic and burnup analysis have been performed in the previous study for a small simplified pebble bed reactor using both uranium and thorium fuel. In the present study, decay heat removal without forced cooling in the accident condition of a simplified pebble bed reactor with peu a peu fuel loading scheme are going to be performed.
