Synopsis Physics of High-Temperature Reactors by : Luigi Massimo
Physics of High-Temperature Reactors focuses on the physics of high-temperature reactors (HTRs) and covers topics ranging from fuel cycles and refueling strategies to neutron cross-sections, transport and diffusion theory, and resonance absorption. Spectrum calculations and cross-section averaging are also discussed, along with the temperature coefficient and reactor control. Comprised of 16 chapters, this book begins with a general description of the HTR core as well as its performance limitations. The next chapter deals with general considerations about HTR physics, including quantities to be determined and optimized in the design of nuclear reactors. Potential scattering and resonance reactions between neutrons and atomic nuclei are then considered, together with basic aspects of transport and diffusion theory. Subsequent chapters explore methods for solving the diffusion equation; slowing-down and neutron thermalization in graphite; HTR core design, fuel management, and cost calculations; and core dynamics and accident analysis. The final chapter describes the sequence of reactor design calculations. This monograph is written primarily for students of HTR physics who are preparing to enter the field as well as technologists of other disciplines who are working on the system.

Synopsis An Introduction to the Neutron Kinetics of Nuclear Power Reactors by : J. G. Tyror
An Introduction to the Neutron Kinetics of Nuclear Power Reactors introduces the reader to the neutron kinetics of nuclear power reactors. Topics covered include the neutron physics of reactor kinetics, feedback effects, water-moderated reactors, fast reactors, and methods of plant control. The reactor transients following faults are also discussed, along with the use of computers in the study of power reactor kinetics. This book is comprised of eight chapters and begins with an overview of the reactor physics characteristics of a nuclear power reactor and their influence on system design and operation. The use of a mathematical model of the system to study reactor kinetics and control is described. The following chapters explore the neutronic aspects of reactor kinetics; the interaction between neutronic events and the behavior of other physical quantities of the reactor; the influence of feedback effects on neutron kinetics; and the neutron kinetics of water-moderated reactors and fast reactors. The different control schemes for nuclear power reactors are also considered. The final chapter looks at the use of computers to solve the equations of kinetic models for nuclear power reactors. This monograph will be a useful resource for nuclear scientists, physicists, and engineers.

Synopsis Physics and Technology of Nuclear Materials by : Ioan Ursu
Physics and Technology of Nuclear Materials presents basic information regarding the structure, properties, processing methods, and response to irradiation of the key materials that fission and fusion nuclear reactors have to rely upon. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with selectively several fundamentals of nuclear physics. Subsequent chapters focus on the nuclear materials science; nuclear fuel; structural materials; moderator materials employed to ""slow down"" fission neutrons; and neutron highly absorbent materials that serve in reactor's power control. Other chapters explore the cooling agents; fluids carrying the energy to its final stage of conversion into electric power; thermal and biological shielding materials; some outstanding reactor components; and irradiated fuel reprocessing. The last two chapters deal with nuclear material quality inspection by destructive and non-destructive methods, and specific materials envisaged for use in future thermonuclear reactors. This monograph will be helpful for a wide range of specialists wishing to gear their research and development, education, and other activities toward the field of nuclear power and nuclear technology.

Synopsis Advances in High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor Fuel Technology by : International Atomic Energy Agency
This publication reports on the results of a coordinated research project on advances in high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) fuel technology and describes the findings of research activities on coated particle developments. These comprise two specific benchmark exercises with the application of HTGR fuel performance and fission product release codes, which helped compare the quality and validity of the computer models against experimental data. The project participants also examined techniques for fuel characterization and advanced quality assessment/quality control. The key exercise included a round-robin experimental study on the measurements of fuel kernel and particle coating properties of recent Korean, South African and US coated particle productions applying the respective qualification measures of each participating Member State. The summary report documents the results and conclusions achieved by the project and underlines the added value to contemporary knowledge on HTGR fuel.

Synopsis Development of a Reactor Physics Analysis Procedure for the Plank-based and Liquid Salt-cooled Advanced High Temperature Reactor by : Cole Andrew Gentry
Presented in this dissertation is the investigation and development of an adapted lattice physics-to-core simulator two-step procedure based on the SERPENT 2 and NESTLE neutronics codes for the rapid analysis of the Advanced High Temperature Reactor (AHTR). AHTR specific characteristics, such as its longer neutron diffusion length and double heterogeneity of TRISO fuel particles, were taken into consideration when adapting the traditional Light Water Reactor (LWR) lattice to nodal diffusion procedure to AHTR applications. The coarse energy group structure was re-optimized from the traditional LWR 2-group structure to an alternative 4-group structures to address the AHTR specific flux spectrum and neutronics characteristics. A more accurate treatment of the interface between fuel and reflector was implemented using simplified 1-D models along with the application of an Equivalence Theory based Assembly Discontinuity Factor (ADF) adjustment of the resultant few group constants. A similar ADF adjustment was also applied to treat the insertion of control blades to properly account for inter-assembly leakage. The developed two-step procedure was tested against multiple transport based high fidelity reference benchmark models and was deemed to provide reasonably accurate results, with the exception of some peripheral radial power discrepancies which have been attributed to the inadequacy of the 1-D radial reflector model to capture a 1/3 symmetric and cyclic power tilt unique to the AHTR fuel assembly design and core layout. For 2-D and 3-D full core models, eigenvalue agreement was within 130 pcm and power distribution errors within 3.5% Root Mean Squared (RMS) error. The final implementation of this two-step procedure was used to perform a representative neutronic and thermal hydraulic coupled simulation which demonstrated the ability of the developed procedure to perform 3-D full core neutronics calculations with coupling to thermal hydraulic feedback in an extremely expedient manner. This work paves the way to ultimately performing fuel cycle, core / assembly design, and safety margin assessments for the AHTR. Additionally, this procedure greatly reduces the computational expense of performing such simulations and opens the door toward AHTR design optimization.
