Mit Pebble Bed Reactor Project
MIT has been developing a conceptual design for pebble bed reactors since approximately 1998, when a student design project concluded that in order to resurrect the nuclear power industry a new, innovative approach was needed, not only in reactor design but also in construction and operation. In their quest to identify the appropriate technology several key conclusions were reached. First was t...
متن کاملThe Pebble-Bed Modular Reactor: Safety Issues
The Bush Administration has made the expansion of nuclear power generation a centerpiece of its domestic energy policy. However, the White House has not addressed the practical issue of how to overcome the nearly three-decade-long aversion among U.S. electric utilities to investing in new nuclear plants. In today's deregulating market, utilities will not build new nuclear power plants unless th...
متن کاملNeutronic Design of the Pb-ahtr
This study (1) investigates the neutronic characteristics of the Pebble Bed Advanced High Temperature Reactor (PB-AHTR); (2) compares the PB-AHTR neutronic performance against those of the alternative design options of He-cooled high temperature reactors using either pebble (PBMR) or prismatic (VHTR) fuel and against a liquid-salt cooled design version of the latter (LS-VHTR); (3) studies the p...
متن کاملAnalysis of granular flow in a pebble-bed nuclear reactor.
Pebble-bed nuclear reactor technology, which is currently being revived around the world, raises fundamental questions about dense granular flow in silos. A typical reactor core is composed of graphite fuel pebbles, which drain very slowly in a continuous refueling process. Pebble flow is poorly understood and not easily accessible to experiments, and yet it has a major impact on reactor physic...
