A thermal-hydraulic analysis of the cooling system for the 500 KW Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University reactor
… 2) surface boiling should not occur on any fuel plate, 3) fuel meltdown must not occur after a loss-of-flow or loss-of-coolant accident, 4) fuel plate vibration problems should not be significant. The results of the investigation indicate that the above limiting conditions will not be …

Neutron radiography with the VPI & SU research reactor
… and natural uranium slugs; 4) enriched uranium fuel plate; 5) used and unused boral control elements; 6) miscellaneous small test objects. The results were, in general, good. Exposure times and limitations were found to be in agreement with other published works. Any significant differences in …

Phase Transformations and Microstructural Evolution in the U-10 wt.% Mo Alloy with Various Zr Additions at 900C and 650C
… replace the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuels used in research and test nuclear reactors around the world. The low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels must have fissionable uranium densities comparable to the HEU fuels. After extensive investigation by various researchers around the world, the …

Thermal-fluid modeling of the Missouri S&T reactor
… STAR-CCM+. First, a three-dimensional parallel-plate model was developed, and the cosine-shaped heat flux was applied to the MSTR core. Simulation results for fluid flow under natural convection condition show coolant temperature and velocity as a function of core power. A characteristic …
