Development of thermodynamic cycles for sodium-cooled-fast reactors.
Currently, one engineering challenge is designing Generation IV (GEN-IV) Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) with significantly higher thermal efficiencies compared to current NPPs, and to match, or at least to be close to, the thermal efficiencies reached by fossil-fired power plants, which are currently …

High temperature creep-fatigue behavior of alloy 617 and alloy 230
The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is one of the Gen-IV reactor design concepts which embody a common goal of providing safe, longer lasting, proliferation-resistant, and economically viable nuclear energy. One of the biggest challenges in the research and development of Gen-IV reactor …

One-dimensional single phase natural circulation model of FLiNaK in Molten Salt Loop
… work studied a coolant for a molten salt type reactor in terms of a natural circulation behavior. A natural circulation model using MATLAB was developed. This model is for the Molten Salt Loop currently under development at University of Ontario Institute of Technology to investigate aging …

Development of a coupled CFD—system-code capability (with a modified porous media model) and its applications to simulate current and next generation reactors
Motivated by recent developments in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and recognizing the limitations on computing power, this dissertation is aimed at combining the desirable features of system codes and CFD codes, thus elevating the nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics simulation …

Consideration of fuel behaviour in AGR-like FHR reactor design
The Fluoride Salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) is a subclass of Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) that uses solid fuel separated from the molten coolant salt. Previous work showed that British Advance Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) technology can be used to potentially reduce the time required to …
