Design of Advanced Integrated Reactor Protection System for Commercial Fast Breeder Reactor

Advanced Fast Reactor:

The AFR concept is being developed at Argonne National Laboratory, as an extension of earlier work done on the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR). That work was undertaken specifically to resolve some pressing technical issues in safety, waste management, nonproliferation, and economics. Also important, however, was the fundamental fact that the efficient utilization of uranium resources is crucial to...

Compromising Safety: Design Choices and Severe Accident Possibilities in India's Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor

Conceptual Design for a Fast Reactor Safety Test Facility

In May 1975 Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory issued a preliminai.. report on a study of Fast Reactor Safety Test Facilities. The study addressed itself to three closely related tasks. 1. A review of the current understanding of fast reactor safety with the aim of identifying important areas of uncertainty which cannot be adequately resolved using analysis, out of pile and/or existing in-pile fa...

Integrated Model of Chemical Reactor

In this work, the bond graph approach is employed to develop an integrated chemical reactor model, able to be exploited for supervision and diagnosis of industrial process. The obtained model is evolutive and generic comparing with the first principle methods. Moreover, this methodology is based on systematic approach which allows to represent the dynamic behaviour of complex process under non ...

Simulation-based design and analysis of advanced CVD reactor systems

The paper discussed the development of a simulator for the Programmable CVD Reactor system using the modular simulation approach. The design of the Programmable Reactor lends itself very naturally to a modular approach because of the segmented showerhead design while each segment is a fairly complex component, with individually controllable reactant gas supply and residual gas exhaust, the desi...
