The influence of thorium on the temperature reactivity coefficient in a 400 MWth pebble bed high temperature plutonium incinerator reactor
(2012)Social and environmental justice for a growing and developing global population requires significant increases in energy use. A possible means of contributing to this energy increase is to incinerate plutonium from spent ... -
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of aspects of the neutronics of a prismatic block-type HTGR
(2019)The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGR) Uncertainty Analysis in Modelling (UAM) has been established aiming to study uncertainty ... -
Using thorium to decrease maximum DLOFC temperatures and increase total power output in Pebble-Bed High Temperature Reactors
(North-West University, 2018)This is a study on the topic of modifying the fuel cycles of Pebble-Bed Reactors in order to reduce their maximum fuel temperatures during Depressurised Loss of Forced Coolant (DLOFC) accidents, in order to prevent ... -
Utilization of heat from a nuclear high temperature cooled modulator reactor in a crude oil refinery : techno-economic feasibility analysis
(2014)This research project will investigate the potential business case and technical feasibility of using nuclear generated heat in a crude oil refinery located some distance away. The key design element is an energy ...
