Feasibility Analysis for a Nuclear-Powered Commercial Merchant Ship
This thesis evaluated advanced reactor designs to determine the best option for installation onboard a civilian container ship in support of the IMO’s strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Greenhouse gas reduction has been a major challenge within commercial maritime shipping …

Feasibility of risk-informed regulation for Generation-IV reactors
With the advent of new and innovative Generation-IV reactor designs, new regulations must be developed to assure the safety of these plants. In the past a purely deterministic way of developing design basis accidents was prevalent, however this is felt to not be satisfactory, since this leaves …

Design of a fault tolerant control scheme based on sliding mode for Canadian supercritical water reactor
Canadian Super Critical Water Reactor (SCWR) is one of the Generation IV reactor types and possible heat source for co-hydrogen production through copper chlorine thermochemical cycle. To maintain the balance between the hydrogen production and electricity production effectively and to utilize the …

Mean-Field Parameter Study of Radiation-Induced Segregation in a Binary Metal Alloy
… pursuit of advanced materials for deployment in Generation IV (Gen-IV) nuclear reactor designs. A mean-field study is conducted on a body-centered cubic (BCC) A-B binary metal alloy system. The performance of the simulated metal system is measured by assessing the degree of segregation that …

Heat-transfer analysis of double-pipe heat exchangers for indirect-cycle SCW NPP
SuperCritical-Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) are being developed as one of the Generation-IV nuclear-reactor concepts. SuperCritical Water (SCW) Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) are expected to have much higher operating parameters compared to current NPPs, i.e., pressure of about 25 MPa and outlet …

Study on linking a SuperCritical water-cooled nuclear reactor to a hydrogen production facility
The SuperCritical Water-cooled nuclear Reactor (SCWR) is one of six Generation-IV nuclear-reactor concepts currently being designed. It will operate at pressures of 25 MPa and temperatures up to 625°C. These operating conditions make a SuperCritical Water (SCW) Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) suitable to …
