Full-resolution model reproduces key MSRE flow and neutron data
Full-resolution multiphysics simulation of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment couples neutronics with thermal-hydraulics to reproduce experimental behavior and reveal three-dimensional flow.
Analytical model estimates MHD pressure losses in lead-lithium flow
Analytical model and CFD validation for MHD pressure drop in lead-lithium flows for fusion reactor breeding blankets under variable magnetic field conditions.
Brazing performed better than HIPing in divertor tests
Study comparing brazing and Hot Isostatic Pressing methods for bonding copper interfaces in fusion reactor divertors, evaluating thermal performance and fatigue resistance.
Structural choices strongly affect CFETR tritium breeding performance
Neutronics modeling of CFETR HCCB blanket demonstrates structural design optimization yields substantial tritium breeding ratio gains; material composition changes show limited benefit.
Passive safety systems handled the cold-leg LBLOCA in the SCW-SMR study
Study analyzes cold-leg LBLOCA for supercritical water SMR using parametric analysis, demonstrating passive safety systems effectively manage the accident without active high-pressure injection.
