Characterization of Microbial Survivall in the Presence of Radioactive 14C Spiked Salts in Order to Minimize W,aste from Graphite Moderated Nuclear Reactors
The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a high temperature, Gas (HTG) (helium) cooled reactor, which uses graphite as a moderator and a neutrons reflector. During the reactors operation, graphite is irradiated and contains radionuclides, such as actinides, fission and activation products. This …

Modularity of the MIT Pebble Bed Reactor for use by the commercial power industry
The Modular Pebble Bed Reactor is a small high temperature helium cooled reactor that is being considered for both electric power and hydrogen production. Pebble bed reactors are being developed in South Africa, China and the US. To make smaller 120 Mwe reactors economically competitive with larger …

An Effective Methodology for Thermal-Hydraulics Analysis of a VHTR Core and Fuel Elements
The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is a Generation-IV design in the conceptual pre-licensing phase for potential construction by 2030-2050. It is graphite moderated, helium cooled reactor that operates at an exit temperature of up to 1273 K, making it ideal for generating electricity at a …

The Effect of Coating Parameters On Advanced TRISO Fuels With Zirconium Carbide
… obtainable in the very high temperature reactor (VHTR) design. These problems include but are not limited to over pressurization of the kernel due to fission gas buildup as well as kernel migration, in the presence of a temperature gradient, known as the amoeba effect. To negate these …
